For 10 points, name these molecules which have unpaired electrons.
In CIDNP ("kidnap"), these structures are assumed to occupy various spin states in a non-Boltzmann distribution, and the standard enthalpy associated with a compound breaking up into two of these structures is defined as the bond disassociation energy. These structures are studied in EPR spectroscopy, and compounds like AIBN are used to generate these. These structures are generally formed in reactions that are shown as fish-hooked arrows, and these molecules are often generated by chain transfer in reactions that is used to make polymers. Catalase and antioxidants prevent the formation of these structures. For 10 points, name these molecules which have unpaired electrons.
