Nuclear Spin-Flip Satellites in Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

Under certain circumstances, the primary hyperfine electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum is accompanied by additional lines which are located at nuclear magnetic resonance spacings, almost independent of the hyperfine spin-Hamiltonian matrix A. This situation allows instant identification of the nuclide responsible. The theory behind this phenomenon is available, tractable via perturbation theory, and yields line positions and relative intensities, but is none too translucent. The present work attempts to portray the predictions of the theory using simple examples, utilizing computer-based analysis and spectral simulations.     

A Study of Mechanochemical Doping of Fluoride Crystals with a Fluorite Structure by Er3+ Ions via Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectra

Using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, we have shown that, upon mecha- noactivated doping of powders of compounds CaF₂, SrF₂, and BaF₂ with Er³⁺ ions, impurity centers of single erbium ions with cubic symmetry are formed. Investigations of dependences of EPR spectra intensities on the particle size show that the process of mechanochemical doping with Er³⁺ ions proceeds differently for CaF₂, SrF₂, and BaF₂ host matrices. In the case of CaF₂, impurity centers are localized in a very thin near-surface layer of CaF₂ particles, in SrF₂, the impurity is distributed over the volume of particles, while, in BaF₂, there is a layer of a finite thickness for which the probability of doping in the course of mechanosynthesis is very small and the impurity of the rare-earth element is localized in the core of large particles. These data can be explained assuming that the result of mechanosynthesis of particles of fluorides with a fluorite structure doped with Er3+ ions at room temperature is governed by two processes—mechanoactivated diffusion of rare-earth ions into particles and segregation of impurity ions at grain boundaries. In this case, the typical scales for compounds CaF₂, SrF₂, and BaF₂ considerably differ from each other.     

Electron Paramagnetic Resonance of Percolation Soot Clusters in Polyethylene

The paramagnetism and the ac electrical conductivity of samples of a soot–polyethylene composite have been investigated. It has been established that the EPR line with the gfactor 2.0025 is asymmetric on the metal side of the insulator–metal concentration transition of the composite. It is shown that the asymmetry of the line reflects the appearance of a percolation soot cluster in the samples of the composite.     

Rotating-Frame Proton Cross Relaxation in the Presence of Paramagnetic Metal Ions

Rotating-frame cross relaxation for a pair of protons rotating in a spherical molecule with external relaxation is examined theoretically. The results of this study allow us to model intensities in 1D ROE and 2D ROESY spectra of protons in the presence of a paramagnetic metal ion. External relaxation moves the threshold correlation time for spin diffusion to longer times. In contrast to the effect of external relaxation on longitudinal cross relaxation (NOESY), the range of observable transverse cross relaxation (ROESY) expands with increasing external relaxation. At the same time, external relaxation compresses the overall time scale for cross-peak evolution. The initial slopes of cross-peak evolution are unaffected by external relaxation, but are sensitive to the rotational correlation time of the proton pair. Very short mixing times are necessary for accurate estimation of the initial Slopes.

Theoretical Studies of Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Parameters for Cr4+ Ions in Ca2GeO4 Crystals

The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) parameters (zero-field splitting D and g factors g_||, g_⊥) of Cr⁴⁺ ions in Ca₂GeO₄ crystals have been calculated from the complete high-order perturbation formulas of EPR parameters for a 3d² ion in trigonal MX₄ clusters. In these formulas, in addition to the contributions to EPR parameters from the widely used crystal-field (CF) mechanism, the contributions from the charge-transfer (CT) mechanism (which are often neglected) are included. From the calculations, it is found that for the high valence state 3dⁿ ions in crystals, the reasonable explanation of EPR parameters (in particular, the g factors) should take both the CF and CT mechanisms into account.     

Continuous-Wave and Time-Resolved Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Study of Dimerized Aza-Crown Copper Porphyrins

The dimerization of 5-(4’-(aza-15-crown-5)-phenyl) copper porphyrin (CuP) upon the addition of the K(SCN) salt to a solution of the CuP monomer has been proven by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). The magnetic resonance parameters of the CuP monomer, the exchange interaction parameter, J = +0.25 cm^?1, and the Cu–Cu distance of the CuP dimer have been determined by comparing the experimental continuous-wave EPR spectra with the results of the numerical calculations. The photoexcited states have been studied in the time-resolved EPR experiments. It has been shown that the time-resolved EPR spectra of the dimerized porphyrins can be presented as a sum of two components that represent the spectra derived by integrating the dataset in the time windows of 1.1–1.3 and 2.1–2.3 μs. To describe the spectrum in the time window of 2.1–2.3 μs, it is assumed that there is an essential contribution to the signal from the excited state of the supramolecule, which is formed by the interaction between the photoexcited porphyrin in the quartet state and the neighboring non-excited porphyrin in the ground state.     

Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Investigations of ZnSe:Mn Nanocrystals

Colloidal nanocrystals of ZnSe doped with Mn²⁺ were synthesized in non-polar medium using hot-injection technique. Obtained samples were characterized by means of photoluminescence and absorption spectroscopies. To confirm the incorporation of Mn²⁺ impurity and to reveal its state and localization, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy was employed. As a result, EPR spectra were analyzed and hyperfine splitting constant and g-factor for Mn²⁺ dopant were determined.     

中国电子顺磁共振(EPR)发展50年回顾

自从1945年前苏联科学家Zavoisky在固体中观察到电子顺磁共振（EPR）这一奇妙的物理现象以来,电子顺磁共振波谱学已经经历了60多年漫长的发展历程. 在世界上,20世纪50、60年代是EPR的基本理论、实验技术和实验方法迅速发展的时期,同时对我国产生了很大的影响. 从60年代开始至今,EPR波谱学在我国已有50多年的发展,其间大约可以分为3个阶段： (一) 20世纪60~80年代初是EPR波谱设备研制和技术发展的初始阶段;(二) 20世纪80年代到21世纪初主要是EPR实验技术进一步发展和实验方法及其在化学、物理学、生物学、医学等学科中的应用研究阶段;(三) 21世纪以来,开始了新的实验技术和开展更加广泛深入的应用研究,特别是开始脉冲EPR波谱学的应用和相关设备的研制.     

Polyelectrolyte Multilayers Studied by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) Spin-Label Technique

A nitroxide spin label has been covalently attached to the polyelectrolyte poly(ethylene-alt-maleic acid) (P(E-alt-MA)) to study the interaction between this weak polyanion, the oppositely charged strong polycation poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC) and water in swollen polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEM) by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. If the spin-labeled polyanion has been used for the preparation of every double layer, the growth of the PEM film can be monitored by quantitative EPR. On the other hand, if the spin-labeled polyanion has been selectively placed in different layers in the PEM film the influence of the environment such as pH of the swelling medium of the mobility of the polyelectrolyte molecules positioned in the selected layer can be investigated.

Magnetic Resonance Study of Detonation Nanodiamonds with Surface Chemically Modified by Transition Metal Ions

We report on electron magnetic resonance (EMR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) study of detonation nanodiamonds (DND) with the surface modified by copper and cobalt ions. The EMR spectrum of the pure DND sample shows an intense singlet originating from broken carbon bonds, while the spectra of copper- and cobalt-modified samples reveal additional signals with g > 2 and pronounced hyperfine structure (for copper). Increase in the Cu/Co concentration causes an increase of the corresponding EMR signals and broadening of the intense carbon-inherited singlet line. Subsequent annealing of the copper-modified samples in a hydrogen gas stream at 550 and 900°C causes narrowing of the singlet line and reduction of the Cu²⁺-related components. Applying the same annealing process to the cobalt-modified samples leads to broadening of the singlet line, reduction of Co²⁺ component and appearance of new intense low-field signals. NMR data correlate well with the EMR findings and yield information on interactions and locations of transition metal ions. ¹³C nuclear spin–lattice relaxation rate R ₁ in pure DND is driven by the interaction of nuclear spins with unpaired electron spins of broken bonds. Chemical modification of the DND surface by Cu and Co causes an increase in the relaxation rate, revealing appearance of paramagnetic Cu²⁺ and Co²⁺ complexes at the DND surface and their interaction with the carbon nuclear spins, both directly and via a coupling of Cu²⁺ and Co²⁺ electrons with those of the broken bonds. The aforementioned annealing of the Cu- and Co-DND results in an inverse process, i.e., a reduction of the relaxation rate, indicating that these complexes are destroyed and metal ions presumably join each other forming copper and cobalt nanoclusters. In the case of Co the nanoclusters are ferromagnetic, which results in the noticeable broadening of the ¹³C NMR lines.     

Cyclic Voltammetry and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Study of the Electrochemical Reduction of P-Nitrobenzyl Bromide in Aprotic Solvents

EPR has been used to investigate the radicals postulated as intermediates in the intramolecular electron transfer and dehalogenation of p-nitrobenzyl bromide (p-NBBr) in DMSO and DMFA at room temperature. The electrochemical behavior has been studied through the use of cyclic voltammetry. According to the postulated reaction mechanism, the one-electron reduction of p-nitrobenzyl bromide generates an anion radical which undergoes breakage of the C-Br bond followed by intramolecular electron transfer. The free radical obtained is finally transformed into p-nitrotoluene.
