Abstract: | A set of equations for assigning hyperfine coupling constants of substituted 1,4-benzosemiquinones are presented. The equations, based on additivity rules, yield assignments for a range of substituents with a correlation between predicted and experimental constants to better than five per cent. The investigation shows that t-butyl groups in semiquinones rotate freely against prior assertions. |
