45. For the arylthiirane radical cations, the β-fragmentation of the intermediate thiyl radical is favored over the dimerization reaction which, is the main pathway with alkylthiiranes [Equation (1)]. This different behavior is probably due to the C-C bond dissociation energy, which is lower in the arylthiirane than in the alkylthiirane radical cations.

52. In the alkylthiirane radical cations, the spin density should also be located on the sulfur atom. Nevertheless, these species do not afford the alkene [Equation (1)], probably due to the higher enthalpy change in the formation of the alkene radical cations.
