Abstract
The a priori valence bond method in the σ‐π approximation has been applied to benzyl radical with inclusion of an increasing number of ionic structures. When all structures are included, the hyperfine coupling constants calculated from spin densities through the McConnell relationship are in excellent agreement with experimental results. Comparison with other theoretical results is also included.
