Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4039(92)88183-6

Bicyclo[3.1.0]hex-2-ene radical cation, generated by γ-irradiation of the parent compounds in freon matrices at 77 K, undergoes ring opening to the 1,3-cyclohexadiene radical cation, In CF₂ClCFCl₂ matrix both radical cations also undergo deprotonation to the corresponding neutral radicals.
