β¦ Synopsis
The isotropic and anisotropic ESR spectra of dialkyl oxalate radical anions, including derivatives which were labelled with "C or "0 in the carbonyl and *H or "C in the alkyl groups, were measured. The spin density distribution as determined from the experimental nuclear hyperfine coupling constants agrees very well with MNDO-CI calculations. As a consequence of the strictly planar structure of the radical anions, E/Z isomers are observed.

## Abstract A theoretical study of Οβelectron spin density distributions has been made for a series of fluoroβsubstituted hydrocarbon radical cations using unrestricted HartreeβFock theory. Although some of the predicted proton splittings are not in very good agreement with experiment, the overall
