. Semiquinones formedby the oxidation of hydroquinones or the reduction of quiñones in alkaline media havebeen studied by paramagnetic resonance absorption spectroscopy. The p-benzosemiquinone ion has been observed for the first time in solution; its existence has been established by examination of the structure of its paramagnetic resonance spectrum. It has been confirmed that certain structure observed in the paramagnetic resonance spectra of some free radicals is due to intra-molecular magnetic hyperfine interaction between the unpaired electron and protons. The magnitude of the hyperfine interaction constant for the^-benzosemiquinone ion was found to be 6.54±0.06 Me./sec., and the magnitude of the con-stant for the durosemiquinone ion was found to be 5.28±0.15 Me./sec. Although theoretical interpretation of the mag-nitude of the interaction constants has not been satisfactory, it is believed that relative values of these constants can be interpreted in terms of relative odd-electron densities at the protons. The magnitude of the hyperfine interaction in the durosemiquinone ion may represent direct confirmation of the phenomenon of hyperconjugation. Paramagnetic spectra were observed from the/>-tolusemiquinone ion, the 9, 10-phenanthrenesemiquinone ion, and the radical formed from a mixture of benzil and benzoin. Evidence was found for the existence of two or more radicals in an alkaline alcoholic solution of p-benzoquinone exposed to the air.
