The Effect of Hydrogen-Bonding on the g-Value of Diphenyl Nitric Oxide

Abstract
The decrease in the g-value of diphenyl nitric oxide in hydrogen-bonding solvents has been examined. This decrease has been analyzed on the basis of Stone’s theory for the g-value of a π-radical. The decrease in the g-value has been shown to be caused mainly by the decrease in the odd-electron density on the oxygen atom and the increase in the energy difference between the odd-electron and lone-pair orbitals. We have also attempted to estimate the blue shift of the n* transition from the g-value.
