On paper, the radical cation looks similar to the neutral compound Braunschweig reported in 2016. “But the electronics are completely different because it’s a radical cation,” Gilliard says.

Batteries: Catching radical molecules before they disappear Date: December 13, 2017 Source: Institute for Basic Science Summary: Researchers have managed to stabilize short-lived radical ions ...

“Well within 1 nanosecond, you get a radical pair,” says Peter J. Hore at the University of Oxford, who helped to lead the work. In this radical pair (FAD •− and TrpH •+), the unpaired ...

Ions are not destroyed by the measurement, so they can be used several times (multiplex advantage). By this sensitivity and/or resolution can be increased. Resolutions of more than 10 6 are easily ...

The redox-active properties of organic radical polymers have been known for some time. However, prior to this research the exact mechanism by which electrons and ions are transported through the ...

Our earlier work on ionized liquid water provided a glimpse of the lifetime of the H 2 O + radical cation, albeit via indirect probing in the near-infrared," Loh said.

Radicals are, as a rule, highly reactive intermediates. The team uses a special intermediate – a phosphine-water radical cation – as activated water, from which hydrogen atoms from H2O can be easily ...

The team uses a special intermediate – a phosphine-water radical cation – as activated water, from which hydrogen atoms from H2O can be easily split off and transferred to a further substrate.

The device is so sensitive that we can measure ions going in and out of the organic radical polymer." The results of the EQCM-D analysis led to somewhat unexpected results.
