The ·BH4 radical: an electron spin resonance study of the radiolysis of NaBH4
Abstract
Exposure of NaBH4(NaBD4) to 60Co γ-rays at 77 K gave a species having a large proton hyperfine coupling to two equivalent protons (deuterons) and a small coupling to two other protons(deuterons), together with a strongly anisotropic coupling to 11B.
