Carbon 1s binding energy and substituent effects in C-centered radical cations

摘要

The carbon 1s binding energies (E_b) measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy or obtained from quantum chemical calculations for 18 series of compounds in which the reaction center is the C atom are analyzed. It was established for the first time that E_b values in carbon-centered radical cations depend on the inductive, resonance, and polarizability effects of sub-stituents.
