This study reveals how molecular structure influences nitroxide radicals, finding electronic structures are stable unless modified by carbonyl groups. These findings aid in understanding radical reactivity and delocalization energy.

Area of Science:

  • Physical Chemistry
  • Organic Chemistry
  • Spectroscopy

Background:

  • Nitroxide radicals are crucial in various chemical processes.
  • Understanding their electronic structure is key to predicting reactivity.
  • Previous studies have provided limited insight into substituent effects on nitroxide electronic structure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the molecular and electronic structures of 10 free nitroxide radicals.
  • To correlate electronic structure with radical reactivity.
  • To analyze conflicting kinetic data using experimental results.

Main Methods:

  • HeI/HeII photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS)
  • Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations
  • Comparison with related compound spectra

Main Results:

  • Nitroxide group electronic structure is generally unaffected by substitution.
  • A carbonyl derivative showed noticeable stabilization of nitroxide group orbitals.
  • Small variations in photoionization cross-sections for singlet and triplet cation states were observed.
  • An experimental estimate of unpaired electron delocalization energy was determined.

Conclusions:

  • Electronic structure is largely independent of substitution, with exceptions in carbonyl derivatives.
  • UPS results provide a basis for analyzing conflicting kinetic data on radical reactivity.
  • The study offers insights into the relationship between electronic structure and the reactivity of nitroxide radicals.
