Electron-Paramagnetic-Resonance of Gamma-Irradiation and Ultraviolet Photolysis Products in t-Butylphosphonic Acid

Abstract

The EPR spectra of gamma irradiated t-butylphosphonic acid, (CH3)3CP(O)(OH)2, indicates the presence of (CH3)3C overdot radical at room temperature, and ultraviolet photolysis produces (CH3)3 CPO overdot (OH)3 radical at 130 K.
