Electron acceptors yielding hihgly labile radical anions have been designed based on thermodynamic considerations.The radical anions of these acceptors were produced by an electron transfer from excited states of aromatic amines.The radical anions undergo

Radical cations of p-methoxy-p-X-bicumenes generated by ET to excited-state dicyanobenzene undergo rapid irreversible C-C bond scission giving cumyl cations and radicals. The photoefficiency of the process (Φ = 0.13 for X = MeO, Φ 0.005 for X = CN) and the fate of the radicals produced depends strongly on substitution.
