Thiyl radicals (RS.) are formed when positive muons (mu+) are implanted into solutions of thiocarbonyl compounds (C = S) in ethanol, tetrahydrofuran or formamide solvents. A solvent dependence is found, which reflects changing electronic interactions and overall conformations, suggesting that the properties of RS. radicals may be dependent on the polarity (philicity) of the environment in which they are formed.
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.
