Introducing species like PNO, DMPO and TEMPO to short-lived versions of these species createsnitroxide-based persistent ones, which can then be imaged by Electron Paramagnetic ResonanceSpectroscopy.
One method of detecting the distance between a pair of these species is the PELDOR experiment.Introducing species like PNO, DMPO and TEMPO to short-lived versions of these species createsnitroxide-based persistent ones, which can then be imaged by Electron Paramagnetic ResonanceSpectroscopy. Halogenation reactions with these species as intermediates tend to lackstereospecificity. These species are created by homolysis when a halogenÂ–halogen or halogenÂ–carbonbond is cleaved by (*) UV light, which explains why CFCs are damaging. Mitochondria generate thesuperoxide one, which damages DNA. They are reactive because they violate the octet rule, often havingonly 7 valence electrons. For 10 points, name these compounds with an unpaired electron.
