Abstract

New types of hydrazoxyl radicals were identified by ESR spectroscopic method during oxidation of N-(arylamino)imides. The ESR parameters of radicals generated were obtained by a spectral simulation. The effect of substituents on the values of splitting constants of nitrogen atoms N1 and N2 is discussed. The splitting constants a(N1) well correlate with the σ-Hammett constants of substituents of the 1-phenyl group.
