Alkoxy radicals 2-pentoxy

Less is known about Franck-Condon effects on collisional electron detachment from anions. For example, the C-N bond in CH2N02 (1.401 A) is 4.5% longer than the same bond in the CH2N02 anion (1.340 A), and vertical neutralization results in 25-30 kj mol-1 vibrational excitation in the radical, as calculated at several levels of theory [18]. Alkoxy radicals and anions also show different C-0 bond lengths, e.g., 1.317 A and 1.371 A in the 1-pentoxy anion and radical, respectively [1], although the Franck-Condon energies associated with... 

To illustrate alkoxy radical isomerization, let us consider the OH reaction of -pentane. The n-pentane-OH reaction proceeds as follows to produce the 2-pentoxy radical ...
