Total yields of paramagnetic species, their optical bleaching and thermal annealing in acetic, propionic, a-butyric, isobutyric, and pivalic acid γ-irradiated at 77 K were followed by ESR spectroscopy. Radical anions, always found after irradiation, disappear during optical bleaching without formation of any paramagnetic product. During thermal annealing they are converted almost quantitatively into the α-radicals of the respective acid, with the exception of pivalic acid. Amounts of radical anions were estimated from the difference of integrated ESR spectra taken before and after optical bleaching. The results show that approximately equal amounts of the reduction and oxidation paramagnetic products of the γ-irradiation can be detected.

Triphenylphosphane 1, its oxide 2 and sulfide 3 undergo one-electron reduction at a mercury cathode in DMF to yield the corresponding radical anions. ESE analysis of the paramagnetic species is facilitated by deuteration and suggests a pyramidal geometry of the radicals. Reduction with potassium metal in DME at low temperature yields also radical anions for 2 and 3. The phosphane 1, however, reacts under phenyl cleavage and potassiumphenyl-assisted ring closure to the dianion of 5H-dibenzophosphole 4. This radical 4· ⊖⊖ is also obtainod by alkali metal reduction of P-phenyldibenzophosphole o, and its spin distribution is compared to iso-.-π-electronic radicals containing CH, N, O, S, or Se links instead of the phosphorus atom.

The use of electron spin resonance (e.s.r.) to follow the course of a chemical reaction which does not involve paramagnetic intermediates is reported. The principle of the method is the conversion of the reaction product into a paramagnetic species which may be characterized by e.s.r. In the present example, photoconversion of ketones into radical anions is used to follow the successive displacement of fluorine from perfluorobenzophenone.

Abstract Reduction of naturally occurring para-and ortho-benzoquinone derivatives M to their respective radical anions M·⊖ can be accomplished under largely aprotic conditions either by cautious low-temperature reaction in THF containing an excess of (2.2.2) cryptand at a potassium mirror or by using the "mild" single electron transfer reagent tetrabutylammonium boranate R4N⊕BH4⊖ in DMF. On addition of soluble alkali tetraphenylborates Me⊕[B(C6H5)4]⊖ , their hitherto unknown radical ion pairs [M·⊖ Me⊕]· and/or triple ion radical cations [Me⊕M·⊖Me⊕]·⊕ form, which might be of biological relevance in molecular carrier and "turn off -turn on" switch processes. On addition of metal perchlorates Me⊕n(ClO4⊖)n with multiply charged counter cations Me⊕n the respective paramagnetic species [M·⊖Me⊕n]·(n-1)⊕ result. Assuming exclusive one-electron transfer reductions without any redox fragmentation reac­tions, ESR, ENDOR and GENERAL TRIPLE spectra are presented and discussed for the following radical anions and radical ion pairs: mitomycin C (M·⊖ and [M·⊖Mex⊕]·(x-1)⊕ with Me⊕ = Li⊕, Na⊕), streptonigrine (M·⊖ and [M·⊖Lix⊕]·(x-1)⊕), Entobex® (M·⊖ and [M·⊖Me⊕n]·(n-1)⊕ with Me⊕n = Li⊕, Na⊕, Cd⊕⊕, (H5C6)2Tl⊕) as well as brucinequinone ([M·⊖ Me⊕n]·(n-1)⊕ with Me⊕n = Li⊕, Cd⊕⊕, Pb⊕⊕, La⊕⊕⊕).

The production of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) consumes considerable amount of natural resources, energy and at the same time contribute in high emission of CO2 to the atmosphere. A new material replacing cement as binder called geopolymer is alkali-activated concrete which are made from fly ash, sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The alkaline solution mixed with fly ash producing alternative binder to OPC binder in concrete named geopolymer paste. In the process, NaOH was fully dissolved in water and cooled to room temperature. This study aims to eliminate this process by using NaOH in solid form together with fly ash before sodium silicate liquid and water poured into the mixture. The amount of NaOH solids were based on 10M concentration. The workability test is in accordance to ASTM C230. Fifty cubic mm of the geopolymer paste were prepared which consists of fly ash to alkaline solution ratio of 1: 0.5 and the curing regime of 80℃ for 24 hours with 100% humidity were implemented. From laboratory test, the workability of dry method geopolymer paste were decreased. The compressive strength of the dry mix of NaOH showed 55% and the workability has dropped to 58.4%, it showed strength reduction compared to the wet mix method.
