EPR Studies on Carboxylic Esters. Part 15.¹ Spin Density Distribution in the Radical Anions of Naphthalenecarboxylic Esters

Abstract

The spin density distribution in the radical anions of naphthalene-mono-, di- and -tetra-carboxylic esters is determined from the proton hfs coupling constants as measured by EPR spectroscopy and discussed in terms of semi-empirical MO calculations.
