Abstract
Electron-transfer disproportionation of a 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) occurred in the presence of Sc3+ acting as a strong Lewis acid in deaerated acetonitrile. In contrast, in the case of weaker Lewis acids than Sc3+, such as Mg2+ and Li+, external protons from acetic acid were required for the disproportionation of DPPH to occur.
