Notes:
Two types of (KPO3)n crystals have been obtained: transparent crystals and semitransparent crystals that grew in the neighborhood of the wall of the crucible. In the latter type of crystals, four kinds of radicals, denoted B, C, D, and E, are observed by ESR measurements at 77°K on crystals irradiated with γ-rays at the same temperature. The probable structure of B, C, and D radicals is concluded to be —O—PO̊2—O— from their g values and hyperfine constants (the superscript circle indicates a hole trapped in the radical). When these crystals are heated to room temperature, the ESR spectra of B, C, and D radicals disappear and the spectrum of another radical appears. This radical, designated A, has the possible structure —O—ṖO2. The assumption that B radicals thermally decompose into A radicals is confirmed by experiment. With the transparent crystals, C, D, and E radicals are observed at low temperature, but only E radicals are stable at room temperature. The structure of the E radical is thought to be\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}${\rm \hbox{---}O \hbox{---}PO}_2{{_\circ} \atop ^{\hbox{---}}} {\rm PO}_2 {\rm \hbox{---}O\hbox{---}} $\end{document}, but more detailed studies are required.
