Abstract: 

The current study focuses on the generation, identification, and
characterization of the phenylselenyl radical using the matrix isolation
technique in combination with density functional theory (B3LYP/cc-pVTZ)
computations. The hitherto unknown phenylselenyl peroxy radical was
synthesized by co-condensation of the phenylselenyl radical with
molecular ground state triplet oxygen from the gas phase and subsequent
trapping in argon matrices at 10 K. The experimental IR spectra
including ¹⁸O isotopically labelled materials
compare well with the data obtained from B3LYP/cc-pVTZ computations.
Upon 312 nm irradiation, the phenylselenyl peroxy radical isomerizes to
the thermodynamically more stable equally novel phenylselenoyl radical.
