Popis: The spectra of stabilized solvent holes were obtained by the method of optically detected ESR (OD ESR) in glassy matrices at 77 K. Using this technique we obtained the spectra for radical-cations of cis-decalin, squalene, 2-methylpentane, 3-methylpentane, 3,3-dimethylpentane, 3-methylheptane and 2,3-dimethylbutane. For all matrices except that of squalene, an hf-structure in the OD ESR spectra belonging to the radical-cations of matrices used is detected. Thus an unpaired electron is shown to be localized mainly on one molecule. The efficiency of hole transfer to acceptors with a lower ionization potential is studied in squalene and cis-decalin. It increases with difference in ionization Δ > 0.3 eV. The data on positive charge transfer provided by the OD ESR technique in the present paper, testify in favour of the long range single step tunneling.
