The radical cation of bicyclo[2-2.1]hepta-2,5-diene (8,9,10-trinorborna-2,5-diene; 1) in CF2ClCFCl2, and CF3CCl3 matrices and that of bicyclo[2.2.2]octa-2,5-diene (2,3-dihydrobarrelene; 2) in CFCl3 and CF3CCl3 matrices have been studied by ESR and ENDOR spectroscopy. For \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}${\bf 1}^{+ \atop \dot{}}$\end{document}, the coupling constants of the olefinic, methano-bridge, and bridgehead protons are -0.780 ±0.005, +0.304±0.002, and -0.049±0.002 mT, respectively. The hyperfine tensor for the methano-bridge protons is axial, Ax = +0.263 ± 0.002 and Ay = +0.386 ± 0.002 mT, while that for the olefinic protons is orthorhombic, Ax = -0.594 ± 0.005, Ay= -0.913 ± 0.005, and Az = -0.834 ± 0.005 mT (x parallel to C—H- z parallel to 2pπ axis). For \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}${\bf 2}^{+ \atop \dot{}}$\end{document}, the coupling constants of the olefinic, ethano-bridge, and bridgehead protons are -0.68 ± 0.01, +0.162 ± 0.005, and -0.108 ± 0.005 mT, respectively. The hyperfine data for \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}${\bf 1}^{+ \atop \dot{}}$\end{document} and \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}${\bf 2}^{+ \atop \dot{}}$\end{document} fully support the presentation of their singly occupied orbitals as antisymmetric combinations, b2(π), of the two bonding ethene π-MO's.
