Rr. Rakhimov et al., MOLECULAR AND CHEMICAL-DYNAMICS OF A BIRADICAL WITH 6-COORDINATE SILICON ATOM, Russian chemical bulletin, 42(10), 1993, pp. 1648-1652
The intramolecular dynamics of a silicon biradical complex with o-semi
quinone ligands was studied in a frozen toluene solution. Analysis of
the broadening and shifts of the canonical components in the ESR spect
rum of this biradical allows one to detect the abrupt reorientation of
the magnetic axes due to intramolecular single bond-unpaired electron
exchange. The frequencies of chemical exchange at low temperatures we
re estimated.
