ESR Studies on Carboxylic Esters. Part 13 - Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy and Molecular Orbital Calculations on the Radical Anions of 2-Oxo-carbothioate and 2-Oxo-carbodithioate Esters

Article abstract of DOI:10.1002/mrc.1260321011

Radical anions of alkyl α-oxocarbothioates and α-oxocarbodithioates are generated by in situ electroreduction.Their spin density distribution and configuration are discussed in terms of the ESR spectra and semi-empirical (McLachan-type and AM1) MO calculations. - Keywords: ESR α-Oxo-catbothioates α-Oxo-carbodithioates Radical anions MO calculations
