The effect of varying solvent and temperature on the e.s.r. parameters and linewidths of copper(II) bis(diethyldithiocarbamate) has been studied. The temperature and solvent dependences of the isotropic hyperfine coupling constant (a0) have been interpreted in terms of vibronic and axial ligation effects. The rotational correlation time, τR, of Cu(DEDC)2 has been measured in the solvents employed. The values of τR measured at 300 K have been used to obtain the anisotropic interaction parameter, κ, which is found to correlate roughly with the dipole moment and molar refractivity of the solvent.

To detect if nitric oxide (NO) is produced in rat forebrain ischemia, we applied an electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) NO-trapping technique. We also performed a detailed characterization of the technique. Diethyldithiocarbamate (DETC) and Fe-citrate were used as NO-trapping reagents. Under controlled ventilation, forebrain ischemia was produced by occlusion of both carotid arteries combined with hemorrhagic hypotension at 50 mm Hg for 15 min. DETC and Fe were administered 30 min prior to the onset of ischemia. During ischemia, the cerebral cortex was removed, and EPR samples were prepared. At liquid nitrogen temperatures, the NO-Fe-DETC signal (a triplet signal centered at g = 2.039 with the hyperfine coupling constant aN of 13 G) was detected overlapping Cu-DETC signals. By perfusing various concentrations of an NO-generating agent, 1,1-diethyl-2-hydroxy-2-nitrosohydrazine, into the rat brains, the amount of the “trapped NO” was calibrated. The size of the NO-Fe-DETC signal was well correlated with the NO concentrations in the perfusate (correlation coefficient r = 0.998, p < 0.01). Based on this calibration curve, it was found that the amount of trapped NO during forebrain ischemia increased to seven times that of the control (control n = 5, forebrain ischemia n = 4, p < 0.005).

Electron paramagnetic resonance measurements on nickel(ll) doped copper(ll) acetate mono­hydrate single crystals have been made. In the liquid helium temperature range, spectra have been observed which may be assigned to Ni2+-Cu2+ strongly coupled mixed pairs in the state of total spin S = 1/2. This result represents a definite difference of magnetic behaviour from the case of the nickel(II) doped dicopper(II) tetra(μ-benzoato-O,O′)bis(quinoline) complex, which has the same sandwich dimeric structure but shows spectra indicative of a S=3/2 state. Apart from this difference, unusual EPR data are found such as pronounced misalignments of g with respect to the relevant pair axes and very large values of the hyperfine coupling constant of the copper nucleus, which characteristically recall that case.

The electron paramagnetic resonance of γ -Irradiated single crystals of dimethyl malonic acid [(CH3)2C(COOH)2] has been studied for different orientations of the crystal in a magnetic field. The radicals produced by gamma irradiation have been investigated between 123 and 300 K. The spectra were found to be temperature independent, and radiation damage centres were attributed to [(CH3)2C(COOH)2]+ radicals. The g factor and hyperfine coupling constants were found to be almost isotropic with average values g = 2.0036, a(COOH)2 = 0.5 mT, a(CH3)2 = 2.1 mT, respectively, and spin density ρ = 91% of the [(CH3)2C(COOH)2]+ radical.

Formate dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa contains molybdenum, a [4Fe-4S] cluster and cytochrome b. This paper reports the detection of molybdenum as Mo(V) by e.p.r. spectroscopy. In order to generate Mo(V) signals, addition of amounts of excess formate varying between 10- and 50-fold over enzyme, followed by 200-fold excess of sodium dithionite, were used. Two Mo(V) species were observed. One, the major component, has g1 = 2.012, g2 = 1.985 and g3 = 1.968, appeared at low concentrations of formate and increased linearly in intensity with increasing concentrations of formate up to 25-fold excess over the enzyme. At higher formate concentration this signal disappeared. The appearance and disappearance of this Mo(V) signal seems to parallel the state of reduction of the [4Fe-4S] clusters. A second, minor, Mo(V) species with g-values g1 = 1.996, g2 = 1.981 and g3 = 1.941 appears at a constant level during the formate-dithionite titration. No evidence has been obtained for nuclear hyperfine coupling to protons. The major Mo(V) species has unusual e.p.r. signals compared with other molybdenum-containing enzymes, except for that observed in the formate dehydrogenase from Methanobacterium formicicum [Barber, Siegel, Schauer, May & Ferry (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 10839-10845]. The present work suggests that the enzyme is acting as a CO2 reductase, with dithionite as an electron donor to a [4Fe-4S] cluster, which in turn donates electrons to molybdenum, producing a Mo(V) species with CO2 bound to the metal.
