The electron spin resonance spectra of naphthoxyl radicals
Abstract
The e.s.r. spectra of α- and of β-naphthoxyl radicals have been obtained and analysed. Unambiguous assignments of the coupling constants have been found by getting spectra from a number of substituted naphthols and these have been confirmed by generating radicals from the dihydroxynaphthalenes in acid solution and analysing the corresponding e.s.r. spectra.
