Abstract
The literature data on substituent influence on the g factors, hyperfine coupling (hfc) constants (a) of the EPR signals and the spin densities (Ο) have been analyzed for 25 series of the organic radical cations and radical anions as well as of the transition metal complexes. The g, a, and Ο values were first established to depend not only on the inductive and resonance effects but also on the polarizability of substituents which can be characterized by the Ο~Ξ±~ constants. The polarizability effect is caused by the partial charge on the radical center. This effect consists in an electrostatic attraction between the charge and the dipole moments induced by this charge in the substituents. The polarizability contribution ranges up to 92%.

## Abstract The radical anions and the radical cations of 1β3 in which three Ο systems are connected in three dimensions by a strained propellane spacer were studied by ESR/ENDOR/TRIPLE spectroscopy. The hyperfine data of acenaphthene (4) are compared with those of the fused Ο systems 5β10. In the
## Abstract Cycloheptatrienyl radicals with donor and acceptor substituents were generated by hydrogen abstraction from the corresponding cycloheptatrienes and studied by EPR spectroscopy. The barrier to rotation about the Cβ1ο£ΏCο£ΎO bond in ethoxycarbonylcycloheptatrienyl radicals was found to be ca.
