Abstract

EPR, ENDOR and TRIPLE resonance spectra were recorded for 1-amino-9,10-anthraquinone (1-aminoAQ), 2-aminoAQ, 1,2-diaminoAQ, 1.4-diaminoAQ, 1,5-diaminoAQ and 2,6-diaminoAQ anion radicals in the solution phase. The rotation of the amino groups is discussed with reference to the experimental data. Rotation barrier calculations were carried out using B3PW91/3-21G* density functional method. The amino groups at positions 1, 4, 5, 8 were found not to be in rotational movement up to the EPR time-scale.
