The β-13C and 15N hyperfine splitting constants in the phenyl radical adduct of phenyl tert-butyl nitrone (PBN), diphenylmethyl tert-butyl aminoxyl, have been measured as a function of solvent and temperature.

The epr spectra of three intermediate copper(II) complexes formed by oxidation of bis[N,N-dialkyl(dithiocarbamato-S,S′)] copper(II) by alkyl hydroperoxides and alkylperoxy radicals are reported. Isotropic and anisotropic spectra of the complexes formed from alkylperoxy radicals enriched with 17O are consistent with the following structures: [Cu(S2CNR2)(OS2CNR2)] (I), [Cu(OS2CNR2)2] (II), and [Cu(OS2CNR2)(O2S2CNR2)] (III). The isotropic 17O hyperfine interaction of I is 19.2 G while the anisotropic spectrum of II indicates that the two oxygen nuclei are equivalent. The anisotropic 17O hyperfine splitting constants are consistent with a structure for these complexes in which the S—O bond(s) is directed out of the plane of the complex and not coordinated to the copper.

The tert-butylsulfinyl radical, (CH3)3CSO•, can be prepared directly in the cavity of an e.p.r. spectrometer by photolysis of di-tert-butyl peroxide in a solution of tert-butylsulfenic acid in toluene or isopentane at low temperatures (−40° to−100°). The e.s.r. spectrum consists of a rather broad singlet (ΔHmis ∼ 1.9 G) with the field center at g = 2.0106.This radical undergoes self-reaction by a bimolecular process and a 2.5 × 10−7 M solution has a half-life of 0.07 s at −100 °C. It is, therefore, much shorter-lived than the iso-structural tert-butylperoxy radical, (CH3)3COO•.
