Abstract: | A simple and fast method for enhancing the resolution of overlapping EPR lines based on the convolution theorem of Fourier analysis is presented. The method provides two analytic expressions in real space by means of which the user can remove, by deconvolution, either a Lorentzian or a Gaussian function from a given experimental spectrum. This method is applied to deconvolve the line-overlapping EPR spectrum of molybdenumphthalocyanine (MoPc) in solution in fuming sulfuric acid. The deconvolved spectrum is then compared with the EPR spectrum of MoPc incorporated in concentrated sulfuric acid where the lines do not extensively overlap. Comparison shows that the method is able to enhance the resolution of the originally masked hyperfine pattern of MoPc in the fuming sulfuric acid spectrum. This method can be easily applied to other spectroscopies. |
