An ESR study has been carried out for reactions of electrons with acrylic acid (AA) in a variety of irradiated frozen solutions. The electron adducts of acrylic acid [CH2-- CH--COOH]- were found to be formed in some matrices, such as 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (MTHF), triethylamine (TEA), and 3-methylhexane (MHX). The hyperfine couplings to the end CH2 protons ( alpha o approx equal 13 G) are consistent with the INDO MO calculation made for the delocalized anion pi radical. The post-irradiation thermal annealing of the frozen MTHF-AA solutlons at 97 deg K resulted in protonation of the electron adducts to form the hydrogen addition radical STACH3--CH-COOH!. The same conversion was also observed in the TEA matrices at around 115 deg K, while no conversion was observed in the MHX matrices. The radical conversion seems to be associated with the molecular reorieniations in the matrices which were found from the sudden change of the line width in the wide-line mmr measurements of frozen MTHF. On the other hand, the hydrogen addition radicals were found immediately after irradiation in some matrices containing polar protons such as alcohols and alkaline aqueous solutions. It is concluded that the electron adducts of acrylic acid can be stabilized eithermore » in a molecular anion or in its protonated form, depending upon the nature of the matrix molecules and that the hydrogen addition radicals are formed from the polar proton transfer to the electron adducts. A model of proton transfer from protonated cations via the hydrogen bond is proposed for protonation of the electron adducts in the MTHF and TEA matrices.« less
