E.s.r. spectra of the hexamethyldisilane and hexamethyldigermane radical cations
Abstract
Irradiation of solid solutions of Me3Si–SiMe3 and Me3Ge–GeMe3 in CCl3F by γ-rays generates he organo-metallic radical cations whose e.s.r. parameters establish that the unpaired electron is localized in a σ-bonding orbital between the two metal atoms.
