Abstract

Evidence for the cation-radical of pyridine is obtained by ESR and optical studies of γ-irradiated frozen solutions of pyridine in trichlorofluoromethane at 77 and 4 K. The cation-radical is a σ-type radical, the positive charge residing mostly in the nitrogen lone pair orbital. Consistent spectral data are obtained also for 2-deutero-, 4-deutero-, 2,6-dideutero-, and perdeutero-pyridines.
