The CH/sub 3/ radical trapped in irradiated single crystals of CH/sub 3//sup 13/CO/sub 2/Lix2D/sub 2/O has been found to interact with a /sup 13/CO/sub 2/ molecule, which is formed from the C--C bond breakage as a counterpart. The /sup 13/C superhyperfine coupling tensor was determined to be (-4.0, -3.3, -3.5) G. The /sup 13/CO/sub 2/ molecule is located in the direction of the unpaired electron orbital of CH/sub 3/ with the molecular axis perpendicular to it. The spectrum arising from the electron excess center CH/sub 3/ /sup 13/CO/sub 2//sup 2 -/ was also detected together with the CH/sub 3/ radical. Our results indicate that the CH/sub 3/xxx/sup 13/CO/sub 2/ pair is essentially a positive hole center formed from one electron loss followed by the C--C bond breakage. (AIP)
