Time-resolved resonance raman studies on proton-induced electron-transfer reaction from triplet excited state of 2-methoxynaphthalene to decafluorobenzophenone

In this paper, time-resolved resonance Raman (TR3) spectra of intermediates generated by proton-induced electron-transfer reaction between triplet 2-methoxynaphthalene (3ROMe) and decafluorobenzophenone (DFBP) are presented. The TR3 vibrational spectra and structure of 2- methoxynaphthalene cation radical (ROMe•+) have been analyzed by density functional theory (DFT) calculation. It is observed that the structure of naphthalene ring of ROMe•+ deviates from the structure of cation radical of naphthalene
