Abstract: Free radicals generated by thermal decomposition of tetraphenyl-1,2-bis(trimethylsiloxy)ethane were studied by EPR spectroscopy. The maximum amount of free radicals was obtained at temperature 403 K. Hyperfine splitting constants of diphenyl-(trimethylsiloxy)methyl radicals were determined and a good agreement between experimental and simulated EPR spectra has been found.
