Single crystals of 4-choloromethyl pyridinium chloride were investigated between 123 and 300 K by the electron paramagnetic resonance method after being damaged at 296 K by γ -irradiation. The paramagnetic species was attributed to the cation radical.The principal values of the hyperfine coupling tensor of the unpaired electron with these ring atoms, and the principal values of the g tensor were determined. The results were found to be in good agreement with the existing literature data and theoretical predictions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
