14. We previously reported the spectrum of this mixture in which additional spectral lines in the range g = 1.980-1.990 were detected. We attributed these signals to byproducts generated during the manipulation of these highly reactive species in the ESR tube. The monitoring of the same reaction at low temperature (254 K) permitted us to detect the doublet at g = 1.973 without any signal due to byproducts.
