| Abstract: | The magnetic field effects (MFEs) on photoinduced hydrogen abstraction reactions of benzophenone (BP) with thiophenol (PhSH) in the ionic liquids (ILs) N,N,N-trimethyl-N-propylammonium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide (TMPA TFSI), N-methyl-N-propylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide (P13 TFSI), and N-methyl-N-propylpiperidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide (PP13 TFSI) were investigated at 296 K by using a nanosecond laser flash photolysis technique under magnetic fields of 0-1.7 T. Large MFEs were observed for the first time in the ILs. In TMPA TFSI, the yield of the benzophenone ketyl radical gradually decreased with increasing magnetic field strength from 0 to 1.7 T, producing a 20% decrease at 1.7 T. |
