title: Photochemical generation of nitrenium ions from protonated 1,1-diarylhydrazines.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Laser flash photolysis experiments, chemical trapping studies, and time-dependent density functional theory calculations demonstrate that photolysis of protonated 1,1-diarylhydrazines generates N,N-diarylnitrenium ions.
