Interpretation of the MO-diagrams of Free π-Radical Cations - Naphthalene, Butadiene, Styrene, 1-Methyl-styrene, 1,1′-DiphenylethyleneThe reactive and spectroscopic behaviour of the radical cations of the title compounds is discussed on the basis of general structural principles by means of molecular diagrams calculated with the PPP-LHP-SCF-MO-CI-method. The greater reactivity of the monomer radicals compared with the dimers is due to the character of polymethene-like compounds, whereas the lower reactivity of the dimer radicals cations can be ascribed to the more aromatic state of these species. The experimentally determined optical absorption maxima of the radical cations can be interpreted by the same classification.
