Trimesitylboron−: A Nonplanar Aromatic Negative Ion

An analysis of the liquid solution ESR spectrum of the negative ion of trimesitylboron is presented together with a discussion of the rigid medium spectrum. Two anomalies in the spectra, the absence of an alkali metal coupling and the positive sign of Δ g = g‖ − g⊥, are pointed out and interpreted i...

Description
Summary:An analysis of the liquid solution ESR spectrum of the negative ion of trimesitylboron is presented together with a discussion of the rigid medium spectrum. Two anomalies in the spectra, the absence of an alkali metal coupling and the positive sign of Δ g = g‖ − g⊥, are pointed out and interpreted in terms of the nonplanarity of the hydrocarbon.
