Coupling constants are in mT (1 mT = 10 gauss).
Numbers in parentheses are numbers of equivalent hydrogen atoms contributing to the stated hyperfine coupling.
Coupling constants assigned arbitrarily and may be interchanged.
Coupling constants were not resolved and are less than the linewidths of EPR lines, ca. < 0.020 mT.
Coupling constants were not observed or not reported.
Coupling constants in square brackets are literature values reported by ref (26).
