38. In earlier experiments we had detected a transient that was attributed to a phenonium ion in two instances, see: a) I. Manet, S. Monti, P. Bortolus, M. Fagnoni, A. Albini, Chem. Eur. J. 2005, 11, 4274-4282;

40. Related cations have previously been detected by laser flash photolysis. Benzenium ions were detected by the addition of the phenylium ion, photogenerated from benzencdiazonium salts, to benzenes. see ref. [7]. Phenylvinylium ions have been generated by protonation of phenylacetylenes, see: a) R. A. McClelland, F. L. Cozens, S. Steenken, Tetrahedron Lett. 1990, 31, 2821-2824;

47. 2, which is valid in the low-pulse energy region, in which P is the pulse energy and a and b are factors characteristic of the one- and two-photon processes, respectively, a is proportional to the quantum yield of the one-photon production. It was found that the one-photon process is negligible in MeCN;
