3,5-Di-tert-butylthiobenzoyltriphenylsilane (DBTBTPS) has been synthesized and tested as a spin trapping agent for electron spin resonance studies. Upon reaction with a variety of radicals of different nature inside the cavity of the ESR spectrometer, DBTBTPS leads to the observation of rather persistent spectra which in nearly all cases allow the unambiguous identification of the trapped species. DBTBTPS is somewhat less stable than thiobenzoyltriphenylsilane (TBTPS), the unsubstituted thiobenzoyltriphenylsilane; yet, as it affords spin adducts whose spectra are characterized by a smaller number of lines, it may prove more useful than TBTPS itself when dealing with radicals leading to species with a large number of magnetically active nuclei interacting with the unpaired electron.

Abstract
3,5-Di-tert-butylthiobenzoyltriphenylsilane (DBTBTPS) has been synthesized and tested as a spin trapping agent for electron spin resonance studies. Upon reaction with a variety of radicals of different nature inside the cavity of the ESR spectrometer, DBTBTPS leads to the observation of rather persistent spectra which in nearly all cases allow the unambiguous identification of the trapped species. DBTBTPS is somewhat less stable than thiobenzoyltriphenylsilane (TBTPS), the unsubstituted thiobenzoyltriphenylsilane; yet, as it affords spin adducts whose spectra are characterized by a smaller number of lines, it may prove more useful than TBTPS itself when dealing with radicals leading to species with a large number of magnetically active nuclei interacting with the unpaired electron.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
