Electron reactions with a number of carboxylic acids, ketones, and aldehydes were investigated in a deuterated neutral aqueous glass at 77 K by ESR spectroscopy. Free radical reactions which took place upon warming the glasses to temperatures at which the electron adducts become mobile were studied. For carboxylic acids (C, H2,+ 1C02D, n= 2, 3) the deuterated anion radicals (RCH& (OD),) give results which suggest abstraction of a ...
