Abstract
Photolysis of naphtho[b]cyclopropene in hydrocarbons leads to products derived from hydrogen abstraction by a diradical. Photolysis in a cry ogenic matrix allows ESR detection of this diradical, which has zero f ield splitting parameters D/hc = 0.057, E/hc < 0.0002 cm(-1). (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
