A series of seven substituted 4,6-di-tert-butyl-2-(4,5-diarylimidazolyi)-phenols have been prepared and characterized, along with two related benzimidazole compounds. X-ray crystal structures of all of the compounds show that the phenol and imidazole rings are close to coplanar and are connected by an intramolecular ArOH center dot center dot center dot N hydrogen bond. One-electron oxidation of these compounds occurs with movement of the phenolic proton to the imidazole base by concerted proton-electron transfer (CPET) to yield fairly stable distonic radical cations. These phenol-base compounds are a valuable system in which to examine the key features of CPET. Kinetic measurements of bimolecular CPET oxidations, with E-rxn between +0.04 and -0.33 V, give rate constants from (6.3 +/- 0.6) x 10(2) to (3.0 +/- 0.6) x 10(6) M-1 s(-1).There is a good correlation of log(k) with Delta G degrees, with only one of the 15 rate constants falling more than a factor of 5.2 from the correlation line. Substituents on the imidazole affect the (O-H center dot center dot center dot N) hydrogen bond, as marked by variations in the H-1 NMR and calculated vibrational spectra and geometries. Cry stallographic d(O center dot center dot center dot N) values appear to be more strongly affected by crystal packing forces. However, there is almost no correlation of rate constants with any of these measured or computed parameters. Over this range of compounds from the same structural family, the dominant contributor to the differences in rate constant is the driving force Delta G degrees.
