Multifrequency (X-, Q-, and W-band) electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy has been used to characterize the phenoxyl radical produced from (alpha-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-N-tert-butylnitrone, which is a new spin-trapping reagent. The X-band measurement did not resolve the powder-pattern ESR spectrum. Because of its higher resolution with g value, the Q-band ESR study revealed that the g factor has an axial-like symmetry and that the observed hyperfine structure in the Z-direction is caused by the nitrogen nucleus at the para-position. Furthermore, the results of the W-band ESR experiment more clearly distinguished the perpendicular components from the parallel component, resolving the perpendicular components into x and y components. The X-band powder spectrum was similar to the X-band ESR spectrum of the radical in a frozen solution of toluene. The computer simulation spectra performed using the obtained parameters fitted the experimental spectra well. A comparison of the amplitude of g(perpendicular to)(g(x), g(y)) with that of g(z) showed that the unpaired electron is delocalized over the pi-conjugated framework. Considering the hyperfine coupling constant, it was concluded that about 16% of the unpaired electron distributed over the nitrogen nucleus at the para-position. This study thus showed the significant potential of a multifrequency ESR approach to a powder sample radical in terms of its high resolution with g value.
