Preparation of 1,4-Dicyanobenzene Derivatives and the Substituent Effect of the Sensitizers on Photoinduced Electron-Transfer Reactions

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1995.1119

Substituted 1,4-dicyanobenzenes are prepared as electron-accepting photosensitizers.The efficiency of some photosensitized reactions is influenced remarkably by the substituent(s) of 1,4-dicyanobenzene.By using mono or dimethylated dicyanobenzene, the rea
