Matrix Isolated HgCH3 Radical:  An ESR Investigation

Abstract: The Hg12CH3, Hg13CH3, Hg12CD3, 199Hg12CH3, 201Hg12CH3, 201Hg13CH3, 199Hg12CD3, and 201Hg12CD3 radicals have all been formed in a microwave discharge and isolated in an inert neon matrix. Their electronic structure was established for the first time using electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. The following magnetic parameters were determined from the experimental spectra, g ⊥ = 1.84525(20), A ⊥(199Hg) = 4337(3) MHz, A ⊥(201Hg) = 1604(1) MHz, A ⊥(13C) = 146(2) MHz, A ⊥(H) = 31(1) MHz, and A ⊥(D) = 5(1) MHz… Show more

“…In contrast, recombination of the triplet radical pair is spin-forbidden, and when the pair separates, RO–Hg •+ becomes available for reduction tentatively by AQH 2 (OH)­DS, leading to volatile Hg 0 being split off (Figure S9). The large magnitude of odd-MIF imparted indicates an efficient ISC between the radical pairs, which is supported by the larger HFC constants for mercurous radicals with ionic character . In turn, the decrease in Hg 0 production in the oxic environment (Table S6) is due to a number of interacting factors, as indicated in Figure S8: trapping of mercurous radicals (RO–Hg •+ ) and excited triplets of AQDS, as well as of AQH­(OHg)­DS by ground-state dissolved O 2 .…”

“…This rate is not easy to access, however, because HFC constants have only been determined for a handful of Hg-containing radicals (see Table S2). The isotropic HFC constants range from 0.7 cm –1 for 199 HgF to 0.2 cm –1 for 199 HgCH 3 , suggesting that the HFC for ClHg • is likely within this range. The HFCs are high enough to induce significant electron-nuclear polarization by the radical pair mechanism at zero and low magnetic fields .…”
