整洁的 pyridinium 的 radiolysis 行为离子的液体(IL ) 和他们的水的答案用毫微秒脉搏 radiolysis 技术被调查。离子的液体的 Radiolysis 例如 N-butylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate (BuPyBF4 ) ,导致了 solvated 电子和器官的激进分子的形成。Solvated 电子与 pyridinium 一半反应了生产一个 pyridinyl 激进分子,它能把电子转移到各种各样的领受人。在 BuPyBF4 并且在几混合物的导出溶剂的 butylpyridinyl 激进分子的电子转移率常数(例如, duroquinone , 4,4-pyridine , benzophenone ,并且 1,1-dimethyl-4,4-bypyridinium 二氯化物)(顺序的 k 108 L/(摩尔 s )比在水里并且在 i-PrOH 测量,但是比基于粘性估计的控制散开的率常数显著地高的那些低。在整洁的 BuPyBF4 的电子转移率常数比控制散开的值快一个数量级。这发现建议 Bu-PyBF4 溶剂充当不仅而且作为活跃溶质,例如在调停溶剂的反应。这些反应导致没有要求一个特定的激进分子的散开,经由干涉 pyridinium 组到达他们的最后的目的地的电子。
The radiolysis behavior of neat pyridinium ionic liquids (ILs) and their aqueous solutions was investigated using nanosecond pulse radiolysis techniques. Radiolysis of the ionic liquids, such as N-butylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate (BuPyBF4), resulted in the formation of solvated electrons and organic radicals. Solvated electrons reacted with the pyridinium moiety to produce a pyridinyl radical, which can transfer electrons to various acceptors. The electron-transfer rate constants of the solvent-derived butylpyridi- nyl radicals in BuPyBF4 and in several compounds (for example, duroquinone, 4,4'-pyridine, benzophenone, and 1,1'- dimethyl-4,4'-bypyridinium dichloride) (k of the order 108 L/(mol s) were lower than those measured in water and in i-PrOH but were significantly higher than the diffusion-controlled rate constants estimated based on viscosity. The electron-transfer rate con- stants in neat BuPyBF4 were one order of magnitude faster than the diffusion-controlled values. This finding suggests that Bu- PyBF4 acts not only as solvent but also as active solute, such as in solvent-mediated reactions. These reactions result in electrons reaching their final destinations via intervening pyridinium groups without requiring the diffusion of a specific radical.
