Abstract

The N(1s) and O(1s) XPS spectra of stable nitroxyl radicals and molecules with a related heterocycle structure: 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole-3-oxide-1-oxyl, 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-(3-nitrophenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole-3-oxide-1-oxyl, 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole-3-oxide-1-oxyl, 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-(2-hydroxy-3-nitrophenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1Himidazole-3-oxide-1-oxyl, and 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole-3-oxide were studied. The possibility to apply X-ray electron spectra for investigation of the charge electron and spin density distribution on free radical atoms and at their coordination by a metal is considered.
