Abstract

Tautomeric phenol and 1,3-cyclohexadien-5-one radical cations exist as distinct, stable species in the gas phase. This is established by a study of the photodissociation spectra of C6H6O+- ions generated from four sources. Specifically, the ionized phenol and the C6H6O+· from phenetole exist principally as the phenol structure. On the other hand, C6H6O+· generated from bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene-5,7-dione and 2-phenoxyethyl chloride exist as a mixture of keto and enol structures.
