Abstract

N1s and O1s X-ray photoelectron spectra of stable nitroxyl radicals (substituted piperidine-1-oxyl, 2-imidazoline-1-oxyl, and 2-imidazoline-3-oxide-1-oxyl) and also diamagnetic derivatives with a {ONCNO} fragment are measured. It is shown that the structure of N1s and O1s X-ray photoelectron spectra of nitroxyls is determined by charge transfer processes between different parts of the molecule to screen the X-ray hole and the spin-spin interaction of unpaired electrons on the HOMO and 1s level.
