“…EPR spectroscopy indicates that all three radical species, [PC˙(sp 2 )P]PdI ( 2 ), [PC˙(sp 2 )P]PdBr ( 3 ), and [PC˙(sp 2 )P]PdCl ( 5 ) display g -factors close to 2, supporting the radical state of the backbone. 5b , 15 However, the g -factor increases slightly from 5 ( g = 2.0100) to 3 ( g = 2.0105), and to 2 ( g = 2.0110). No hyperfine structure was resolved for [PC˙(sp 2 )P]PdBr and [PC˙(sp 2 )P]PdI, but dilute solutions of [PC˙(sp 2 )P]PdCl display a well-resolved hyperfine splitting ( Fig.…”
