Ps. Lakkaraju et al., Extended diaryl diselenide radical cations in pentasil zeolite studied by EPR and diffuse reflectance optical spectroscopy, J PHYS CH A, 103(37), 1999, pp. 7381-7384
Incorporation of diaryl diselenides (1a, b; R = H, Cl) into pentasil zeolit
e generated "extended" selenium-centered radical cations (1a(.+), b(.+)). T
hese species are identified by their EPR (g(avg) = 2.0644, 2.0639) and diff
use reflectance spectra (lambda(max) = 520, 550, 950 nm). The relative stre
ngth of the two-center three-electron Se-Se bond is compared with the corre
sponding S-S bond in diphenyl disulfide radical cation.
