PHOTOCHEMISTRY OF BROMOBIPHENYLS - STERIC EFFECTS AND ELECTRON-TRANSFER Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Evidence is presented that photolytic fission of the C-Br bonds of bromobiphenyls is preceded by electron transfer. The enhanced rate of photodecomposition of 2-bromobiphenyls is shown to result from the release of steric strain in the excited state.
