Well resolved spectra have been obtained from the radical anion of N-isopropylcarbazole (NIPCA). The splitting parameters have been evaluated by simulation of the spectrum. It is shown that in accordance with HMO calculations the spin density at the nitrogen atom is very small. The poorly resolved NIPCA·+ spectrum points to a high spin density at the nitrogen atom. The mean square zero field splitting parameter of NIPCA is identical with that reported for carbazole.
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.
