Laser flash photolysis studies show that tert-butyl hydroperoxide is an excellent quencher.For example, the rate constants for benzophenone and phenanthrene in benzene at 300 K are 1.8 x 108 and 2.3 x 107 M-1 s-1/sup
Picosecond Dynamics of Nonadiabatic Proton Transfer: A Kinetic Study of Proton Transfer within the Contact Radical Ion Pair of Substituted Benzophenones/N,N-Dimethylaniline

Picosecond absorption spectroscopy has been employed in the study of the dynamics of proton transfer within substituted benzophenones/N,N-dimethylaniline contact radical ion pairs. The reactions were investigated in the solvents cyclohexane, benzene, and dimethylformamide. The correlation of the reaction rates with the change in free energy reveals that the reaction pathway corresponds to a nonadiabatic process, that is the reaction proceeds by proton tunneling. In nonpolar solvents, an inverted region is observed in the proton-transfer process.
