13C hyperfine coupling constants in o-benzosemiquinones

The ¹³C hyperfine splitting constants of the tetrachloro-o-benzosemiquinone radical anion are measured for naturally occurring ¹³C nuclei in all the possible positions in the molecule. Their assignment is based on the linewidth analysis of the single hyperfine components and this is discussed with reference to the reported spin density distribution in o-semiquinones.
