Hydroxyl radicals react with thiourea (and its tetramethyl derivative) yielding dimeric radical cations which are characterized by strong absorptions at 400 nm (450 nm). An analysis of the kinetics of the buildup of these absorptions gives evidence for the intermediacy of OH-adducts and the monomeric radical cations. The dimeric radical cations are also generated in the reactions of triplet-excited maleimide with these thioureas. Moreover, in acid solutions even reducing radicals such as the H atom and a-hydroxyalkyl radicals give rise to these intermediates in full yields, albeit displaying different kinetics. Potential mechanistic implications are discussed. The dimeric thiourea radical cations are strong oxidants and readily oxidize the anions of phenol and 2’-deoxyguanosine. The solvated electron gives rise to an intermediate which is rapidly protonated by water (pKa > 11). Quantum-mechanical calculations support the assignment of the 400 nm (450 nm) absorption to the respective dimeric thiourea radical cation.
