Comparison of spin density calculation methods for various alkyl-substituted 9,10-anthraquinone anion radicals in the solution phase
1996
EPR and ENDOR spectra were recorded for 2-methyl-9,10-anthraquinone (2-methylAQ), 2-ethylAQ, 2-tertbutylAQ and 2,3-dimethylAQ anion radicals in the solution phase. The EPR spectra were simulated with the help of ENDOR data. The experimental isotropic hyperfine coupling constants (IHFCs) were compared with calculated values from semi-empirical INDO, spin-restricted AM1/CI and B3PW91 density-functional methods. The best computational methods for the IHFCs were the semi-empirical AM1/CI method and the B3PW91 density-functional method with a large basis set.
EPR, ENDOR and TRIPLE resonance of amino-substituted 9,10-anthraquinone radicals and the rotation of the amino groups in the solution phase
1996
EPR, ENDOR and TRIPLE resonance spectra were recorded for 1-amino-9,10-anthraquinone (1-aminoAQ), 2-aminoAQ, 1,2-diaminoAQ, 1.4-diaminoAQ, 1,5-diaminoAQ and 2,6-diaminoAQ anion radicals in the solution phase. The rotation of the amino groups is discussed with reference to the experimental data. Rotation barrier calculations were carried out using B3PW91/3-21G* density functional method. The amino groups at positions 1, 4, 5, 8 were found not to be in rotational movement up to the EPR time-scale.
