The single electron chemistry of coals. Quarterly report, October 1, 1989--January 1, 1990

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:10128789
To investigate and characterize the single electron reactions of coals in order to determine the role these reactions play in the chemistry of coal. Attempts will be made to demonstrate that the radicals from the inertinite maceral group will initiate the polymerization of 4-vinylpyridine. The molecule N,N-diphenyl-phenylenediamine will be deposited in coals to characterize their native free radicals. Tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) and tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) will be used to characterize the numbers and strengths of single electron donors in coals.
