14. n XOO •, are also known to have magnetically inequivalent 17 O atoms, 1 including X = N, O, F, P, S, As, Mn, Co, and Cu. Presumably, all these radicals have more or less the same linear, nonfluctional, structure as alkylperoxyls. They will not be considered further in this paper.

16. Structures were optimized at the B3 17 P86 18 level of theory using 6-311+G(2d,2p) basis sets for C, H, O, Si, and Ge atoms. This approach has been shown to predict fairly accurate bond dissociation enthalpies in a broad range of compounds. 19 Small-core, averaged relativistic effective potentials (AREPs) and accompanying (uncontracted) basis sets were used for the Sn 20 and Pb 21 atoms. All calculations used the Gaussian 03 program package. 22

23. All "side-on" structures were found to have a single imaginary vibration frequency. Displacement along this vibration mode generates structures that have "end-on" character.
24. The general trend in E as a function of group-14 atomic mass was verified by performing QCISD(T) single-point energy calculations.

As in the case of the 1,1-diphenylethoxyl radical 26, 27 and triphenylmethoxyl radical, 28 the phenylperoxyl radical is predicted to have a stable spiro-type intermediate that is 20.4 kcal/mol higher in energy than the open form of the radical. The barrier to the formation of the intermediate is predicted to be 26.9 kcal/mol.
