Abstract

Rk' RR R R'and could be conveniently followed by spectrophotometric means. Since these radicals must have considerable dipolar character and since their highly hindered nature should minimize specific, close-range interactions, it was hoped that the results might be particularly amenable to theoretical analysis. Despite the fact that experimental limitations proved to be greater than originally anticipated, this expectation met with a reasonable ...
