Abstract

Recently, the chemical structure of two of the three major stable radicals (T2 and T3) produced in sucrose single crystals by X-irradiation at room temperature was identified by comparing Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations of Electron Magnetic Resonance parameters with experimental results [H. De Cooman, E. Pauwels, H. Vrielinck, E. Sagstuen, F. Callens and M. Waroquier, J. Phys. Chem. B, 2008, 112, 7298–7307]. Ambiguities concerning an unusual proton hyperfine coupling (HFC) tensor prevented the identification of the third major stable radical (T1). In the present work, experimental results of continuous wave Electron Nuclear Double Resonance experiments on sucrose single crystals and Hyperfine Sublevel Correlation Spectroscopy experiments on sucrose powder are presented that lift these remaining ambiguities. Using the final set of experimental HFC tensors and employing advanced DFT calculations, the chemical structure of the T1 radical is established: an allylic-type radical with approximately half of the spin density localised on the C2′ carbon of the fructose unit, involving glycosidic bond cleavage at the fructose side and a concerted formation of a carbonyl group at the C1′ carbon. The electronic structure of the T1 radical is discussed in more detail by means of additional DFT calculations, yielding a better understanding of the peculiar properties of the unusual proton HFC tensor mentioned above.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
