Abstract
Several polycyclic aromatic radical cations produced in Friedel–Crafts alkylation reactions were studied by EPR and ENDOR methods, and the following were identified: 1,2,5,6‐tetramethylanthracene, 2,3,6,7,9,10‐hexamethylanthracene, 3,6,11,14‐tetramethyldibenzo [a,c]triphenylene and 2,6,9,10‐tetramethylanthracene radical cations.

The ENDOR spectnun of the triphenylmethyl radical formed by heat treatment of triphenylmethane has been measured in solution at 131 "C. The derived hyperfine coupling constants of 2.770,2.556 and 1 . B G were used to simulate the extremely well resolved EPR spectnun. These coupling constants are in
Porphyrins are widely used as electron donors in model systems for electron transfer in primary processes of photosynthesis. More recently, chlorins, whose p electron system is more similar to that of chlorophylls, have become available in model compounds. In this study, the electronic structure of
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
Radical cations of a series of a-methyl-substituted bi-, ter-and quaterthiophenes were investigated by EPR and, in part, ENDOR spectroscopy. In the case of terthiophenes, the electronic and steric effects of methyl substituents were studied. The experimentally determined spin density distributions w
