Abstract
The ESR spectra of radical anions formed by reduction of α-diketones RC(O)C(O)CF3 (R=(CF3)2CF, C6F5, (CF3)3C) with metals (Li, Na, K, Mg, Cd, Zn, Hg, In, and TI) in THF were studied. For R=(CF3)2CF and C6F5, the radical anions are formed ascis-isomers, whereas for R=(CF3)3C,trans-isomers are obtained. Line broadening due to solvation and desolvation of the cation is observed in the latter case. The reduction of α-diketone (CF3)2CFC(O)C(O)CF3 with Group II metals (Mg, Cd, Zn) results in the formation of radical pairs.
