The ESR spectra of the radical cation of dimethyl ether, (CH/sub 3/)/sub 2/O/sup +/, which is isoelectronic with the dimethyl aminyl radical, (CH/sub 3/)/sub 2/N, are reported. The first- and second-derivative spectra were obtained from a ..gamma..-irradiated solid solution of dimethyl ether in trichlorofluoromethane at 97/sup 0/K. Analysis of the spectrum is discussed, and assignment of the spectrum to the oxygen-centered radical cation of dimethyl ether is felt to be unambiguous. (BLM)
