Abstract
UNDER certain circumstances radicals may be trapped in pairs which are so well separated that there is no chemical bond between them, but sufficiently close that there is a magnetic coupling between the unpaired electrons. If the trapping is sufficiently precise this may be revealed in the electron spin resonance spectrum which will be characteristic of a triplet-state species1,2.
