The nitrogen quadrupole tensor has been determined by ENDOR measurements at -20/sup 0/C for the spin-label tanol (tempol) oriented in the inclusion compound 2'-hydroxy-2,4,4,7,4'-pentamethylflavan. The principal values are equal to +1.46, +0.11, and -1.57 MHz, with the direction of the 1.46-MHz quadrupole coupling lying parallel to the direction of the largest nitrogen hyperfine coupling. The other two quadrupole tensor components do not lie parallel to the remaining nitrogen hyperfine coupling directions nor are the couplings cylindrically symmetric. Two exchangeable protons are observed to be strongly dipolar coupled to the electron. Coupling constants and direction cosines for nine weekly coupled protons were deduced and attempts were made to assign them.
