A theoretical study of the thermodynamic and hydrogen-bond basicity of TEMPO radical and related nitroxides

Theoretical study of hydrogen bonding interactions in substituted nitroxide radicals

Interaction energy (E_int) of hydrogen bonded complexes of nitroxide radicals can be assessed in terms of the deepest minimum of molecular electrostatic potential (V_min).

Thermally induced cationic polymerization of isobutyl vinyl ether in toluene in the presence of solvate ionic liquid

Cationic polymerization of isobutyl vinyl ether at elevated temperatures of 60–100 °C, in which the propagating cations are stabilized with a solvate ionic liquid, is described.

The effect of micellization on the EPR spectra and reactivity of 2,2,4,4-tetramethylpiperidinoxyl (TEMPO) radicals

A series of 4-alkanoyloxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinoxyl radicals was prepared, and their reactivity in water vis-à-vis antioxidant Trolox was compared. Spectral (electron paramagnetic resonance) and dynamic-light-scattering measurements suggested the formation of micelles for the more hydrophobic members of the series. The observed increase in reactivity for the micelle-forming radicals reflected the increased local concentration of the radical fragment on the micellar interface.
