An inversion of the standard potentials for the first and second electron transfer substantially depends on the structure of carotenoids: an inversion occurs in the oxidation of β-carotene and in the reduction of canthaxanthin, but not in the reduction of β-carotene or in the oxidation of canthaxanthin: Hapiot, P.; Kispert, L.

59. The free radical concentration in the solid state was estimated at 298 K by spin counting experiment to be ca. 15%, as a result of antiferromagnetic interaction between neighboring fluorene moieties. Lowering of the observed spin number (in respect to the theoretical value) is typical for many radical ion salts, e.g., ref 3b.
