Abstract
AbstractSolution and powder ESR spectra of the 4‐trifluoromethyl‐1,2,3,5‐dithiadiazolyl and 4‐pentafluorophenyl‐1,2,3,5‐dithiadiazolyl free radicals were analysed. Comparison of the ESR parameters with those obtained for the protonated equivalents shows that fluorination produces a drift of unpaired electron spin density away from the nitrogen 2px orbitals towards sulphur 3px orbitals (x is the direction perpendicular to the heterocyclic ring), consistent with an increase in electronegativity of the substituent. The fluorinated radicals dimerize more readily than their protonated counterparts.
