26. - concentrations, 7-NCS is partially ionic, and the laser pulse caused an increase of the degree of ionization.
27. The fact that the absorbance measured 2 s after the laser pulse is smaller than before the laser pulse (Figure 3) indicates that part of the benzhydrylium system is irreversibly destroyed, possibly because of homolytic C-NCS cleavage and dimerization of the resulting radicals.
28. An analogous reversal of electrophilicity of 7 and 8 in acetonitrile and water as compared to dichloromethane has previously been observed in the München laboratory for reactions with other nucleophiles.
