✦ Synopsis

The radicals Ag.CH>OH+ and Ag.CHMeOH+ have been prepared by low-temperature radiolysis of solutions of silver perchlorate in methanol and ethanol respectively, and characterised by ESR spectroscopy. These centres are thought to be produced by the reaction of matrix-derived radicals with silver ions. Interpretation of their ESR spectra was facilitated by using "C-and LHlabelled alcohols. The magnitudes of the hypefine coupling constants give estimated spin densities of 20. I7 on silver and z 0.5 on carbon.
