Article: The structure, photochemical reactivity, and photophysical properties of adamantyl X-substituted aryl ethers and a comparison with the alkyl groups, methyl, tert-butyl, and allyl (1).

Introduction

The effect that substituents (X) on aromatic rings (Ar) have on the quantum yields and rate constants of bond cleavage reactions from photochemically generated excited singlet states of substrates of the general class ArY-Z, where the Y--Z bond is the reactive one, continue to attract interest. The objective is to develop excited state structure--reactivity relationships, like the Hammett equation, that are well-established for ground-state reactions. Related to this goal has been one of understanding, in the excited-state cases, the competition between the formation of the products derived from radical pairs (from homolytic cleavage of the Y--Z ...
