The phenoxy cation has been generated in polar and nonpolar solutions by two-photon ionization of phenol by using 2.5-ns pulses of 266 nm light.The ions have been characterized by pulsed conductivity (ion mobility) measurements and transient absorption spectroscopy with λmax = 290 - 300 nm and an estimated extinction coefficient of 1300 M-1 cm-1.The involvement of the phenoxy ion in ion-molecule chemistry with either neutral solute or solvent molecules has been observed.The kinetics of these processes as well as a proposed reaction mechanism are presented.
Infrared multiple-photon dissociation of the nitrobenzene radical cation. A paradigm for competitive reactions

The dissociation of nitrobenzene cation displays a variety of surprising and even apparently nonstatistical reaction behaviors. We have used infrared multiple-photon dissociation experiments to further study the reactions of this system. These experiments along with a previous photoelectron photoion coincidence study indicate that, for some products, the nitrobenzene cation dissociates to form an ion-neutral complex and then reassociates to give the phenyl nitrite cation. A reaction mechanism involving statistical dissociation is shown to account for the experimental data.
