Abstract:
A variety of partially chlorinated and deuterated phenalenyl radicals has been produced by the reaction of the respective acenaphthylenes with chloroform as a carbenoid precursor and via thermal decomposition of some mercury carboxylates. By ESR and ENDOR-in-solution measurements the effectiveness of the different reaction paths to specifically substituted compounds has been investigated.
