Abstract
The concept of cage effects is usually connected with the Franck–Rabinovitch phenomenon: If the amount of molecules disintegrated during a thermal, photoinitiated or radiative reaction is the same, the amount of free radicals observed in solution is always significantly less than that in the gas phase. This phenomenon is caused by partial recombination of radical pairs in the solvent cage where the radicals were formed. By this means, cage effects lead to the formation of products originating from radical recombination inside their initial housing (i.e., inside the solvent cage).
