The objectives of this work are to investigate and characterize the single electron reactions of alkyl and alkoxy aromatic compounds in order to determine the role these reactions play in the chemistry of coal. (1) Attempts will be made to demonstrate that the radicals from inertinite maceral group will initiate the polymerization of 4-vinylpyridine. (2) The molecule, N, N-diphenyl-phenylendiamine, will be deposited in coals to characterize their native free radicals. (3) Tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) and tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) will be used to characterize the numbers and strengths of single electron donors in coals.
