β¦ Synopsis
Cyclopent-knyl, cyclohex-fenyl and cyclohept-4-enyl radicals were generated and their EPR spectra obtained in solution over a range of temperatures. The spectral data were consistent with a fully planar conformation for cyclopent-knyl radicals and a slightly flattened half-chair conformation for cyclohex-fenyl radicals. Cyclohept-4enyl radicals showed exchange broadening in their EPR spectra which indicated inversion from one chair conformer to another with an Arrhenius activation barrier of 16.5 f 0.3 kJ mol-'.

The longitudinal relaxation rate of the first stable alanine radical, SAR1, was studied by employing pulse EPR technique over a wide temperature interval (5-290 K). The complex nonexponential recovery of the longitudinal magnetization in this temperature interval has been described with two characte
