The title free radicals were obtained by oxidation of the corresponding hydrazines which were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and 1H-NMR spectra. The ESR spectra of the free radicals were recorded in toluene in the temperature range -50 deg C to +90 deg C. The simulated ESR spectra indicate a higher spin density at the tricoordinated N-2 nitrogen of the diarylamino group (hfc aN = 0.862 mT) than at the dicoordinated N-1 nitrogen atom (hfc aN = 0.830 mT). In the temperature range 0 deg C to 30 deg C the activation free energy for interconversion of conformers was determined to be ΔG(excit.) = 7.80 kcal/mol.
