3-Ylomethylphenylnitrate a novel quartet species having doubly heterogeneous radical sites (N and C atom; S= 1 and 1/2 center) in a π-conjugated molecule
Abstract
The ground-state quartet species, 3-ylomethylphenylnitrene 1, is photochemically generated from two precursors, 2 and 3, and is characterized using ESR spectroscopy in the temperature range 8–80 k in a 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (MTHF) matrix.
