Abstract
A representative series is studies of organic radicals formed by the effective addition of muonium to the carbonyl oxygen atom of aldehydes, ketones, esters and amides. Low values of the muonelectron hyperfine coupling are measured which are particularly sensitive to radical structure and dynamics. The systematics of these values are discussed in terms of the opposing contributions of conjugation and hyperconjugation.
