The 4-nitrobenzophenone radical anion prepared by electrolysis was studied by ESR spectroscopy. On the basis of the interpretation of ESR spectra, the conformation of this system was estimated. The effect of the concentration of supporting electrolyte and of the presence of a proton-donor agent (C2H5OH) was examined. It is assumed that changes in hyperfine splitting constants are caused by association.

AbstractElectron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy and calorimetric methods were used to characterize conversion processes in multimineral samples from the Northampton ironstone (NIS) at temperatures between 25°C and 800°C. The beginning of the thermal conversion processes can be determined by the formation of asymmetric ESR spectra with g ≈ 2 at 250°C. The breakdown of the berthierine structure between 250°C and 520°C is indicated by the disappearance of the hyperfine splitting in the Mn2+ spectrum and the formation of magnetite. The decomposition of siderite and calcite was found by calorimetric methods at 580°C and 700°C, respectively. The hematite formation between 550°C and 800°C is explained by the decomposition of siderite but also by the oxidation of previously formed magnetite. The occurrence of hematite as the dominant ferric oxide at 800°C signifies the end of the conversion process of the major mineral phases in the NIS samples.

In the studies on nucleophilic substitution of 5-nitro-2-furfuryl derivatives the function of nucleophilic agent was substituted by electrolysis. The electrochemical reduction of these substances and the follow-up reactions of the intermediates were studied by cyclic voltammetry, dc-polarography and ESR spectroscopy. The primary reduction step is the uptake of a single electron giving rise to the radical anion R-CH2-X- which spontaneously splits off the anion X- and forms the neutral 5-nitro-2-furfuryl radical R-CH2.. This radical may either dimerize to 1,2-bis(5-nitro-2-furyl)ethane or yield 5-nitro-2-methylfuran (VI) through abstraction of hydrogen from the solvent or from the supporting electrolyte or through the uptake of an electron and the following protonation. The mechanism found here confirms the validity of the formerly suggested radical-anion mechanism in the nucleophilic substitution of some 5-nitro-2-furfuryl derivatives.

Compounds of the type of 2-(4'-nitrobenzoyl)methylene-3-ethylbenzothiazoline (I) and 2-bis-(p-nitrobenzoyl)methylene-3-ethylbenzothiazoline (II) were studied polarographically and by ESR spectroscopy to obtain informations about their electrochemical and follow-up reactions and their conformation. Whereas with compounds of the type I the conjugation in their molecules is preserved, with type II the coplanarity of the molecules is disturbed, which is manifested in the values of the splitting constants of the ESR spectra and a slow electron transfer between both nitrophenyl substituents. These conclusions are supported by NMR spectroscopic studies.

ESR spectra of thianatocopper(II) complexes with imidazole derivatives were studied in ethanolic solutions at 295 and 123 K. Axialsymmetric spectra, attributed to the monomeric complex units, were obtained for the frozen solutions. The bonding parameters were interpreted by using calculated g, Cu-hyperfine, and 14N-ligand hyperfine splitting values. The Cu-N bond parameters indicate a considerable delocalization of the unpaired electron. The values of the isotropic Cu-hyperfine splitting suggest that the deviations from the planar symmetry of the CuN4 units are due to tetrahedral perturbation of the ligand field.

It has been found that the decay in dimethylformamide and dimethylformamide-water mixtures of radical anions in five of the investigated 5-nitrofurans is governed by a second-order reaction. Only the decay of the radical anion generated from 5-nitro-2-furfural III may be described by an equation including parallel first- and second-order reactions; this behaviour is evidently caused by the relatively high stability of the corresponding dianion, this being an intermediate in the reaction path. The presence of a larger conjugated system in the substituent in position 2 results in a decrease of the unpaired electron density in the nitro group and, consequently, an increase in the stability of the corresponding radical anions.

Abstract Three spin-labelled fatty acids were used to detect the dynamics of lipid bilayer of apomem branes and purple membranes. It was found that ESR spectra of spin labels bound to apo­ membranes showed a temperature-induced changes rather similar to those seen with purple membranes. At the same time, however, the values of hyperfine splitting parameter 2Tm were lower as compared to purple membranes. The results pointed out that the removal of the retinal from purple membranes affects the dynamics of lipid bilayer and apomembranes were more rigid structure than those of purple membranes.
