Matrix photoionization experiments with chloro- and bromostyrenes at high dilution in argon have produced and trapped the parent cations as identified by strong absorptions in the red and near-UV regions.Photolysis rearranged the α isomers to the Z and E β isomers with a larger yield of the E β isomer.The Z- and E-β isomers were interconverted by selective photoexcitation.Photolysis of α-bromostyrene cation also produced the phenylacetylene cation.
