• Description: The syntheses of all sixteen CB₁₁(CH₃)_n(CD₃)_12-n^. radicals with fivefold substitution symmetry are described. The variation in the width of their broad and featureless EPR signals is used to deduce the relative values of the av. hyperfine coupling consts. a_H of the hydrogen atoms in the ipso (1), ortho (2-6), meta (7-11), and para (12) Me groups: a_H(i) : a_H(o) : a_H(m) : a_H(p) = (0.5 +/- 5.8) : (1.5 +/- 1.3) : (3.6 +/- 0.5) : (1.6 +/- 6.3). The values are in fair agreement with the results of a B3LYP/EPRII calcn.
