E.s.r. spectroscopic observation of the radical anion of di-t-butylsilanone, But2SiO˙–. A new approach to the study of silanones
Abstract
The e.s.r. spectrum of the radical anion of di-t-butylsilanone, But2SiO˙–, can be observed when di-t-butyl peroxide is photolysed in the presence of di-t-butylhydroxysilane, But2Si(OH)H, under basic conditions.
