Trends in observed in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon resonance stabilised radicals (PAH RSRs) 24 odd-alternate hydrocarbon radicals D 1 ← D 0 extremely weak (f ≈10 -4 ), with most intensity going to higher energy transition transitions with intensity greater than f ≈10 -2 have been calculated and observed Strong visible transitions of PAH RSRs will be significantly broader then any observed DIBs As these are the transitions most likely to be observed, PAH RSR can be largely dismissed as potential DIB carriers
