Abstract
The paramagnetic complexes formed in Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction systems are invistigated by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy, in room temperature ionic liquids system 1-butyl-3-methyllimidazolium chloride-aluminium chloride ([bmim]Cl-AlCl3). The results indicate that ESR spectra observed are due to polycyclic aromatic radical cations formed from their parent hydrocarbons. ESR spectrum of spin adduct is obtained in an ionic liquid system composed of [bmim]Cl-AlCl3. In acidic solution the 14N hyperfine coupling constant of 4-oxo-TEMPO, 2.15 mT, is appreciably larger due to an adduct formed with AlCl3.
