Abstract
The reaction of hydrogen atoms with n-butylammonium ions in 6 M sulfuric acid glasses yields a characteristic eight-line e.s.r. spectrum, which is attributable to CH3ĊHCH2CH2NH3+. Evidence is drawn from computer simulated spectra and from the spectra of other alkylammonium radicals to account for this spectrum. Qualitative agreement between the simulated and experimental spectra is achieved by assuming that the CH3ĊHCH2— moiety can adopt a range of conformations and can also undergo torsional motion about the sp2 carbon – methylene carbon bond. The site of hydrogen abstraction from alkylammonium ions is evidently influenced by both NH3+ and CH3 groups; abstraction tends to occur away from the former and adjacent to the latter.
