“…5 , 1 5, 1 6, 34, 40 Other than from muon sci- ence 11,13,22,41−46 though, exemplified by the present paper as well, there are very few examples of the direct observation of such H-adduct free radicals by spectroscopic techniques, notable exceptions relevant here being the HC ̇6H 6 cyclohexadienyl radical seen in ZSM-5 zeolite 15 and the ethyl CH 3 C ̇H2 and HC ̇6H 6 radicals interacting with PdNPs investigated by ESR in silica environments. 16 While ESR would generally be the technique of choice for the investigation of free radicals, the confined geometries of mesoporous silica 47 environments can facilitate radical−radical recombination reactions, 48 reducing signal amplitudes which are generally quite weak to begin with, particularly at higher temperatures, as well as likely affecting the measurements of reaction rates in such confined environments. 49 The Mu atom has thus emerged as key in investigating the dynamics and hyperfine coupling constants of H-adduct free radicals in different environments, forming their muoniated isotopic equivalents 7,11,13,17,22,42−44 by Mu addition reactions, wherein the basic μSR (muon spin rotation, resonance, relaxation) technique effectively allows only one muoniated radical in the system at a time.…”
