Summary
-
1.
The question of the structure of certain anions of aromatic hydrocarbons whose EPR hyperfine structure has been previously studied has been discussed.
-
2.
The suggestion has been discussed that the anions of toluene, dibenzyl, and diphenylmethane are formed from the corresponding isomers with small energy differences between the highest filled and the lowest vacant molecular orbitals. The structure of these isomers is in agreement with the hyperfine structure.
