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 butylpyridinyl radicals in BuPyBF 4 and in several compounds (for example, duroquinone, 4,4′-pyridine, benzophenone, and 1,1′- dimethyl-4,4′-bypyridinium dichloride) (k of the order 10 8 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 constants in neat BuPyBF 4 were one order of magnitude faster than the diffusion-controlled values. This finding suggests that Bu- PyBF 4 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.展开更多
