Abstract

Density functional (DFT) calculations, high-temperature electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results suggest that thermal homolysis of C₅₉HN involves a remarkably stable intermediate C₅₉N–C₅₉HN˙ structure characterised by charge redistribution from a C₅₉N˙ radical to a bonded C₅₉HN.
