I4N-and 'H-Coupling constants, determined by ESR, ENDOR, and general-TRIPLE-resonance spectroscopy, are reported for the radical cations of tetrazinodi(heteroarenes) 1-8. The results comply with the expectation that donor properties of these compounds are mainly due to the electron-rich dihydrotetra

β¦ Synopsis
The cation radical of canthaxanthin was generated electrochemically in dichloromethane and its solution ENDOR spectrum is reported for the first time. The isotropic proton hypertine coupling constants are in reasonable agreement with those calculated by RHF-INDO/SP molecular orbital methods for a planar all-trans-polyene conformation. Proton couplings less than 1.1 MHz were not detected due in part to incomplete hype&e separation and chemical exchange processes.

The cation radicals of canthaxanthin, B-carotene and S'-apo+camten-8'-al were chemically prepared on activated sihca-alumina solid supports. An ENDOR study of these cation radicals revealed the hypertine coupling constants of the methyl protons and indicated a carotenoiddependent orientation of the
