Abstract
Previously unknown radicals that are associated with the 5-N-furylhydroxylamine-5-nitrosofuran redox system were detected by EPR spectroscopy in the electrochemical reduction of 5-nitrofuran. The electron structures of the free-radical products of the reduction of 5-nitrofuran were calculated by the INDO method. On the basis of the hyperfine structures (hfs) of the EPR spectra and the results of quantum-chemical calculations it was concluded that 5-nitrosofuran anion radicals and the nitrosofuran dimer were recorded.
