Abstract

UV-VIS Absorption spectroscopy of the unusually stable and structurally characterized radical cations 1,4-diethyl-1,4-dihydropyrazinium (1.bul.+), 1,4-diethyl-1,4-dihydroquinoxalinium monomer (2.bul.+) and p-p dimer (2.bul.+)2, 1,4,6,7-tetramethyl-1,4-dihydroquinoxalinium (3.bul.+) and 5,10-diethyl-5,10-dihydrophenazinium (4.bul.+) reveals low-energy p$\rightarrow$p* transitions with different intensities and partial vibrational structuring. The spectra of the radical cations and of the corresponding dications (12+-42+) have been analyzed with the help of INDO/S calcns.; the resulting assignments could also be rationalized using HMO theory. Both higher sym. systems 1.bul.+ and 4.bul.+ exhibit vibrationally split long-wavelength bands. The addnl. long-wavelength absorption of the p-p dimer (1.bul.+)22 (KD ca. 4 $\times$ 103) is assigned to a charge transfer transition, similar to that of methylviologen radical dimer. on SciFinder(R)
