The e.s.r. spectrum of the (CH3)2ĊOH radical showed a drastic temperature dependence of linewidth in the range −196 to −100 °C, this being particularly pronounced for the M1 = ±2 lines. Possible mechanisms are discussed in terms of restricted rotation of the methyl groups and of the OH groups.

Abstract NaNO3, Sr(NO3)2, BaS, and MgC2O4·2 H2O powders have been gamma-irradiated at room temperature and their electron spin resonance spectra examined for paramagnetic species. The species identified were NO3 and NO2 radicals in the nitrates, SO2- and S in BaS, and H2C2O4- in magnesium oxalate. Theoretical predictions agree with these assignments.

The hyperfine electron-spin resonance spectra of a number of methyl-substituted 9,10-anthrasemiquinones have been determined. The spectra have been analyzed by computer techniques, and splitting constants have been assigned for all protons. The results indicate that, while the parent quinones are essentially free of steric hindrance, the methyl groups in the α position of the reduced quinones are not free to rotate. The methyl groups in the β position of the semiquinones show normal hyperconjugative behavior. These results are consistent with the different redox potentials of these compounds revealed in a previous study.
