Abstract
IN recent years there have been many reports of radicals trapped in solid matrices1. The radicals have been formed by radiolysis, photolysis, or electrical discharge. We have now succeeded in developing a general method of preparing specific trapped hydrocarbon radicals by simple chemical reaction, using a rotating cryostat previously described by one of us2.
