	abstract = {<p>Interplay of quantum mechanical calculations and experimental data on hyperfine coupling constants of ethyl radical in zeolites at several temperatures was engaged to study the geometries and binding energies and to predict the temperature dependence of hyperfine splitting of a series of alkyl radicals in zeolites for the first time. The main focus is on the hyperfine interaction of alkyl radicals in the NaY and HY zeolites. The hyperfine splitting for neutral free radicals and free radical cations is predicted for different zeolite environments. This information can be used to establish the nature of the muoniated alkyl radicals in the NaY and HY zeolites via mu SR experiments. The ration hyperfine coupling constants of the ethane radical cation in these zeolites are very large with relatively little dependence on temperature. It was found that the intramolecular dynamics of alkyl free radicals are only weakly affected by their strong binding to zeolites. In contrast, the substrate binding has a significant effect on their intermolecular dynamics.</p>},

	abstract = {The precession signals of the muoniated ethyl radical have been studied as a function of ethene pressure in pure ethene, ethene/nitrogen mixtures and ethene/helium mixtures. The purpose was to investigate the kinetics and mechanism of the radical formation process. It is possible to fit the signal amplitudes with a model involving a single reaction step-Mu addition to ethene. However, the rate constant deduced from the model fit is significantly higher than the literature value for a thermal reaction, as determined by direct study of Mu decay in low partial pressures of ethene. The conclusion is that at partial pressures above 1 bar the reaction occurs before the incoming (beam) muons are fully thermalized. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.},
