McConnell equation describes the proportional dependence of the hyperfine splitting constant a{\displaystyle a} on the spin density ρ{\displaystyle \rho } (the probability of an unpaired electron being on a particular atom) in aromatic radical compounds such as benzene radical anion C6H6−{\displaystyle C_{6}H_{6}^{-}}.
a=Qρ{\displaystyle a=Q\rho }
