Abstract
Laser flash photolysis of 1,3-dimethoxybenzene and five substituted derivatives (2-Me, 4-Me, 5-Me, 2-MeO, 4-MeO) in 1,1,1,3,3,3-bexafluoroisopropyl alcohol (HFIP) results in a single transient with λ max in the range 395-460 nm, dependent on the additional substituent. This transient forms in a monopbotonic process,in unaffected by oxygen, but quenched by methanol and bromide, and decays by returning to the ground-state aromatic compound
