. Can. J. Chem. 66, 2395 (1988). ~, We report the first 'H and ' 4~ electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectra of oxygen-centered radical adducts (i.e.,derived from the addition of tert-butoxyl radicals) of 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO) as well as the related cyclic nitrones: 4-phenyl-5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (4-Ph-DMPO) and 3,3,5,5-tetramethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (M4PO).Features of the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and ENDOR spectra of these cyclic (pyrrolidine) aminoxyl (nitroxide) species along with some deuterated analogues in liquid toluene solutions are highlighted. For instance, we found several long-range y-H hyperfine splittings (HFS's) detectable by ENDOR that provide unique spectral signatures for these radical adducts. Conformational assignments of the pyrrolidine aminoxyl structures based upon the EPR and ENDOR findings are also discussed. Signs of the various hyperfine splittings (i.e., aN, a;, a : ) investigated by cross-relaxation intensity sequence patterns (CRISP) in the ENDOR spectra are also presented. [Traduit par la revue]
