Abstract

CW-EPR spectroscopic studies on the radical ions of small fluorinated hydrocarbons and related compounds are reviewed. The radical ions were generated and stabilized in low temperature solid media by ionizing radiation. Structures, dynamics and reactions are discussed based on the EPR hyperfine (hf) and g-tensors compared with the quantum chemical computations for the radical anions of perfluorocycloalkanes c-CnF2n − (n: 3–5), perfluoroalkenes CnF2n−2 − (n: 2–5), and related compounds, and for the radical cations of mono- and di-haloalkanes, [H(CH2)nX]+ and [X(CH2)nX]+ (X: Cl, Br; n < 10), fluorinated ethylenes and benzenes, and halogen-substituted dimethylethers.
