The reactivity of 9-substituted 10-methyl-9,10-dihydroacridine (AcrHR) in the reactions with hydride acceptors (A) such as p-benzoquinone derivatives and tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) in acetonitrile varies significantly spanning a range of 107 starting from R = H to Bu(t) and CMe2COOMe. Comparison of the large variation in the reactivity of the hydride transfer reaction with that of the deprotonation of the radical cation (AcrHR·+) determined independently indicates that the large variation in the reactivity is attributed mainly to that of proton transfer from AcrHR·+ to A·- following the initial electron transfer from AcrHR to A. The overall hydride transfer reaction from AcrHR to A therefore proceeds via sequential electron-proton-electron transfer in which the initial electron transfer to give the radical ion pair (AcrHR·+ A·-) is in equilibrium and the proton transfer from AcrHR·+ to A·- is the rate- determining step. Charge-transfer complexes are shown to be formed in the course of the hydride transfer reactions from AcrHR to p-benzoquinone derivatives. A negative temperature dependence was observed for the rates of hydride transfer reactions from AcrHR (R = H, Me, and CH2Ph) to 2,3- dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinone (DDQ) in chloroform (the lower the temperature, the faster the rate) to afford the negative activation enthalpy (ΔH((+))(obs) = -32, -4, and -13 kJ mol-1, respectively). Such a negative ΔH((+))(obs) value indicates clearly that the CT complex lies along the reaction pathway of the hydride transfer reaction via sequential electron- proton-electron transfer and does not enter merely through a side reaction that is indifferent to the hydride transfer reaction. The ΔH((+))(obs) value increases with increasing solvent polarity from a negative value (-13 kJ mol-1) in chloroform to a positive value (13 kJ mol-1) in benzonitrile as the proton-transfer rate from AcrHR·+ to DDQ·- may be slower.

The photoreduction of methyleneblue by N-methyl-9-phenylacridane (ACH) is studied in acetonitrile by means of flash photolysis and quantum yields.In the first step, due to fast proton shift within the original electron transfer product protonated semi-methyleneblue MBH*+ and the deprotonated donor radical (N-methyl-9-phenylacridanyl radical AC*) are formed with a rate constant of 2*108 M-1s-1.In this radical pair a second electron is transferred very fast from AC* to MBH*+ with a rate constant ke2 ca. 1010s-1 to form leuco-methyleneblue and N-methyl-9-phenyl-acridinium salt (AC+).About 80percent of the two-equivalent reduction product, leuco-methyleneblue, are formed within the first solvent cage during the flash.The maximum quantum yields of photoreduction approach φisc of MB+ as expected for a two-equivalent reduction reaction.The out-of-cage reaction consists of the known disproportionation of the protonated semi-methyleneblue MBH*+ and its reduction by the N-methyl-9-phenylacridanyl radical AC*.From the decay kinetics kred = 3*109 M-1s-1 and kdis=8*108M-1s-1 is derived.The system sensitizers the dediazoniation of p-N,N-dimethylamino benzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate efficiently even at very low diazonium salt concentrations (Φ = 0.6).

Cyclic voltammetry and preparative controlled potential electrolysis show that the 9-phenyl-10-methyl-acridinium/acridan (AcPh+/AcPhH) redox couple can be cycled electrochemically between the oxidized (AcPh+) and reduced states (AcPhH) without any apparent side-reaction.The 9-phenyl-10-methyl-acridanyl radical (AcPh*) was identified as a first intermediate in the electrochemical reduction of AcPh+ by cyclic voltammetry as well as by electronic absorption and ESR spectroscopy.In contrast to other acridanyl and related dihydropyridyl radicals, AcPh* shows no tendency to undergo dimerization.In aprotic media, AcPh. is shown to undergo a second reversible one-electron reduction to yield AcPh-, which is, even in these media readily protonated to give AcPhH.The stability of these intermediates seems to be the major factor responsible for the clean electrochemical interconversion of the AcPh+/AcPhH redox couple.The implementation of this redox couple as part of photo-electrochemical energy conversion systems is discussed.
