Abstract
Irradiation of chloro- and bromoalkanes in solid cis-decalin-d18 results in the selective formation (as major paramagnetic species) of alkyl radicals that are specific or the haloalkane solute, in addition to matrix radicals. The method offers a convenient and universal technique for generating, specific alkyl radicals and for examining their powder ESR spectrum. Examples of the generation of chain-end, penultimate and interior alkyl radicals are given. Computer calculations, in which spectra of penultimate and interior radicals are added, clearly demonstrate that quite extensive amounts of interior radicals can be present in a radical mixture, without considerably affecting the composite spectrum.
