Abstract

Abstract: The radical anions of 2, 3-naphthobarrelene (2) and 2, 3-naphthobarrelane (3) were studied by ESR spectroscopy and polarography in order to investigate the importance of long-range coupling, 1, 3-na interaction, ion pairing phenomena, and steric and strain effects in these species. The magnitudes of the two largest hyperfine splitting constants (hfsc's) of 2.-and 3.-were found to vary appreciably as a function of the solvent and the ...
