Abstract: Differently substituted 4,4'-methylenediphenols I donate an electron to the AlCl2+ electron acceptor in the AlCl3-CH3NO2-benzene solution at laboratory temperature to give radical cations II of different stability. The symmetrical distribution of spin density in individual phenyl rings remains preserved. Nevertheless, an asymmetrical redistribution to equivalent positions (ortho, meta) in each of these rings take place owing to steric distortion in the process of formation of the ion-radical complex. The effect of voluminous substituents in ortho positions on stability of the primary complex of ion-radical with the AlCl4- counterion is discussed. This complex is subjected to fragmentation and subsequently gives rise to radical cations from 4,4'-biphenyldiols.
