The electron spin resonance spectra of the anions of phenyltrimethyl-silane and -germane have been measured and analysed. The ring proton hyperfine constants are quite different from those of the t-butyl benzene anion and demonstrate that relative to X M e 3 , the 4 i M e 3 and --GeMe3 groups are electron attracting.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
