anionradikaalit
Anionradikaalit, also known as radical anions, are chemical species that possess both an unpaired electron and a net negative charge. They are formed when a neutral molecule gains one or more electrons. This gain of an electron typically results in the formation of a highly reactive species due to the presence of the unpaired electron, which makes them prone to participate in a variety of chemical reactions. The negative charge further influences their electronic structure and reactivity.
The unpaired electron in an anion radical is often delocalized over the molecule, particularly in conjugated
Anionradikaalit play roles in diverse phenomena. For instance, they are important intermediates in electron transfer reactions
