Cyclic voltamperometry and ESR spectrometry were used to study the chemical transformations of radical-anions of benzonitrile derivatives containing from two to five fluorine atoms.Two types of transformations were found to be characteristic for such species, namely, the elimination of a fluoride anion and subsequent formation of defluorination products and dimerization with the subsequent formation of fluorinated derivatives of 4,4'-dicyanodiphenyl.The facility of these processes depends significantly on the number and arrangement of the fluorine atoms in the benzene ring.The relationship between the electronic structure and reactivity of fluorinated benzonitrile radical-anions was examined.
