The radical ion N/sub 2/H/sup +//sub 4/ has been produced by x irradiating single crystals of hydrazinium hydrogen oxalate (N/sub 2/H/sub 5/HC/sub 2/O/sub 4/) and studied by ESR and ENDOR spectroscopy. The structure of the trapping site has been elucidated by observing /sup 1/H ENDOR transitions not only from the radical but also from distant protons. One of the latter originates from the proton lost by N/sub 2/H/sup +//sub 5/ upon radical formation. Evidence that proton transfer occurs through a hydrogen bond is presented.
