The electronic absorption spectra of radical ions produced by γ-ray irradiation of (E)-stilbene and related compounds in frozen matrices were measured. On illumination and on controlled warming, the spectra of the radical ions of sterically uncrowded stilbenes and diphenylacetylene remained almost unchanged, while those of the radical ions of sterically crowded stilbenes changed noticeably. Examination of the spectra and of their changes led to the following conclusions: (a) The relaxed geometry of the radical ions of sterically uncrowded stilbenes is planar or nearly planar; (b) in the unrelaxed geometries of the radical ions of (E)-α,β-dialkylstilbenes the torsion angles of the Ph–C bonds are nearly as large as in the parent molecules, and on relaxation these angles become smaller and the torsion angle of the central ethylenic bond deviates from 0° to a considerable extent; (c) for the radical ions of ortho-substituted (E)-stilbenes the geometrical change on relaxation is comparatively small.
