Ab initio single excited configuration interaction calculations of hyperfine coupling constants with Chipman's basis sets suggest that the oxirane radical cation has the ring-opened oxallyl structure, rather than a ring-closed structure.

β¦ Synopsis
The temperature dependences of hydroxyl group proton and ring proton isotropic hyperΓne coupling constants (IHFC) of 1,4-hydroquinone (HQ) and 1,4-dihydroxynaphthalene (NQ) cation radicals were measured by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. The spectral parameters were obtained in the temperature range 150Γ300 K using various solvents. The hydroxyl group proton IHFC data obtained were Γtted to the theoretical temperature dependence model, yielding the hydroxyl group rotation barrier height and completely planar hydroxyl proton IHFC value. Experimental results are discussed with reference to theoretical density functional calculations. The new experimental rotation barrier heights for HQ and NQ cation radicals are 59 ^4 and 37 ^4 kJ mol~1 in nitromethane, respectively.
