| Summary: | The muon is introduced as a unique probe in radical chemistry, and the experimental technique is demonstrated to have considerable potential for further developments. Employing this method, extraordinary structural and kinetic effects have been encountered. This book relates to muonated organic free radicals, the adducts of muonium to unsaturated molecules. The main aspects treated are: - the experimental techniques and their sensitivity compared to conventional magnetic resonance methods, - the applicability of the muon as a spin probe to measure absolute rate constants of fast radical reactions, - the nature of the subnanosecond radiation chemical pro- cesses which occur upon injection of energetic muons in matter near the end of their thermalization tracks, - geometric and electronic structure of the radicals formed, and isotope effects revealed by comparison with their normal hydrogenated analogues. |
