Abstract

Hydroxyl radicals formed by ionizing radiation in ice crystals are reversibly converted into ˙O^– anions on cooling to ca. 4 K. Using D₂O enriched in ¹⁷O, hyperfine coupling to ¹⁷O in ^˙17OD and in ^˙17O^– radicals has been monitored. The results support the identification of these species, and shed light on their electronic structures.
