Fig. 7: Computational investigation of nitroxide electron affinities.

Calculated adiabatic electron affinities (EAs) for nitroxides 5, 8, cis,cis-9, and 10–13 (298 K, PBE0-D3BJ/def2-TZVPP[IEFPCM, water])46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56. EAs were taken as the energy difference between the most stable nitroxide conformer and the most stable hydroxylamine anion conformer for each compound.
