Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Radical stability</bold> can be assessed by a new mass spectrometric approach proposed by L. Tan and co‐workers in their Communication on <ext-link ext-link-type="doi" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">page 1887 ff.</ext-link> The stability of carbon‐centered bioorganic radicals is evaluated by a method based on the gas‐phase dissociation of sulfinyl radical ions. The degree of CH₂SO loss is found to be correlated with the stability of the as‐formed radical species, which can be molecularly tuned by the electronic effect of the neighboring groups.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg4sm9qnpk" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
