Abstract |

The e.s.r. and ENDOR spectra of the radical cations of N,N′-diphenyl- 4,4′-bipyridylium dichloride (DPQ), N,N′-bis-(4-methylphenyl)-4, 4′-bipyridylium dichloride (p-mDPQ), N,N′-bis-(3-methylphenyl)-4, 4′-bipyridylium dichloride (m-mDPQ), N,N′-bis-(2-methylphenyl-4, 4′-bipyridylium dichloride (o-mDPQ), and N,N′-bis-(2,4,6- trimethylphenyl)-4,4′-bipyridylium dichloride (T-mDPQ) in methanol were studied over a range of temperatures. Values for the hyperfine coupling constants are given at -40°C. It was found that the radical cation concentrations of DPQ+., p-mDPQ+., m-mDPQ+., and o-mDPQ+. decreased with decreasing temperature, this change being reversible, whilst that of T-mDPQ+. did not. We explain the reversible change with temperature in terms of a monomer-dimer equilibrium, and the absence of such an equilibrium in the case of T-mDPQ+. as due to the lack of planarity of the molecule, because of steric hindrance between the methyl groups and the pyridyl ortho-protons. The thermodynamic constants ΔG°, ΔH°, and ΔS°, obtained for the dimerisation equilibria, are reported. |
