Substituent effect on singlet–triplet splitting: diarylcarbene–diarylmethylene; electron spin resonance study. Merostabilization in diarylmethylenes

Abstract
An analysis of the e.s.r. spectra of unsymmetrically substituted diphenylmethylenes (e.g. p,p′-methoxy, cyano, dimethylamino, or nitro) indicate these species have a triplet ground state which is delocalized by merostabilization.
