Deuterium isotope effect on the electron spin resonance spectrum of the cyclopentadienyl radical

  • 1. University Coll., London (UK). Dept. of Chemistry

Description

The e.s.r. spectrum shows that, in the radical C5H4D., the unpaired electron occupies the psisub(A) and psisub(S) molecular orbitals with the probability 0.515:0.485, which is consistent with a model which assumes a vibrational perturbation of the Hueckel resonance integral β. (author)
