Iminoxy radicals of general structure ArC (X)= N+., where X= H, CH@ H, n-Bu, t-Bu, SiEh, SiPh3, GePh3, SnMe3, SnBu3, SnPh3, SMe, SBu, SPh, C1, and Br, have been photolytically generated from the parent oximino compounds or from aromatic nitrile N-oxides in an aprotic solvent. Two configurational isomers, interconvertible in solution, have been detected by electron spin resonance spectroscopy for the majority of these radicals. The preferred ...
