EPR Studies on Carboxylic Esters. Part 14.1 Radical Anions of O-Phenyl Halobenzenecarbothioates

Electroreduction of Organic Compounds, 36 [1]. Electroreduction of Chlorinated Methyl Benzoates

“…The radical anions of chlorobenzoate esters are known to be extremely short-lived and not accessible to EPR measurements [12]. We could, however, indirectly detect the methyl 3-chlorobenzoate radical anions (2 •− − − ) by rapid scan cyclovoltammetry.…”

EPR studies on carboxylic esters. Part 16. Indirect�generation of the elusive radical anions of alkyl �anthracene-9-carboxylates

“…The halide ion is eliminated simultaneously with or after the first single electron transfer (SET) or immediately with the second SET. 3,6 Subsequently the anion is protonated. Finally, the radical anion 1 .À was generated at À1.1 V and proved to be persistent enough.…”

“…This can be explained qualitatively by the spin densities, which in these positions are smaller & % " 0X104 and so the radical anions are long-lived enough to be detected spectroscopically by EPR. 3 COMPUTATIONAL EPR spectra simulations were carried out using the Simfonia program (Bruker). Spin densities were computed using Gaussian 98 on a Hewlett-Packard 9000 V2250 (PA 8200).…”
