The electronic structure of the radical-anion of 1-substituted 2,4-dinitrobenzenes in aqueous and water-alcohol media at various pH values was studied by the ESR method in conjunction with the flow method. The use of compounds labeled with the /sup 15/N isotope at the ortho-nitro group made it possible to show that in protic media their radical-anions exist in two forms, characterized by the preferred localization of the spin density at the ortho- or para-nitro group (the O and P forms respectively). On the basis of an analysis of the results it was concluded that the effect of the substituent on the ratio of the O and P forms in the investigated radical-anions is determined by its electronic nature, effective, volume, and charge and by the ability to form a hydrogen bond with the ortho-located nitro group. It was found that the effect of the substituent on the ratio of the O and P forms in the investigated radical-anions corresponds to its directing effect in the partial reduction of 1-substituted 2,4-dinitrobenzenes.
