VIBRATIONAL MODULATION EFFECTS ON EPR SPECTRA                            255




























                        The symmetry  assignment of vibrational states refers to   point group. Experimental
                        geometries and  wave  numbers are taken from  [28,29] for   and  [30] for   EPR
                        parameters are taken from [31] for   at 96K and [32]  for   .at77K.



























                       It is quite apparent (Figures 3,4) that the hyperfine constants of the central and terminal
                       atoms in the two radicals are strongly influenced by the out-of-plane displacement. For the
                       central atom, the coupling increases with    and this is clearly related to a strong change in
                       hybridization.
