The phenalane anion has been prepared by the reaction of alkali metals in ether solutions of both phenalane and phenalene. The electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of both the radical and of its ion pairs with sodium and with lithium in THF are reported. At room temperature there is an alternating linewidth involving the β protons caused by conformational interconversion of the axial and equatorial positions. At −80 °C the γ protons are not equivalent and the corresponding coupling constants are resolved.

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.

The e.p.r. spectra of the Fe-proteins of nitrogenase from all sources studied have unusual features in that they have very anisotropic linewidths and low integrated intensities. These characteristics can be explained by assuming that one of the two electrons accepted by these proteins is located at a rapidly relaxing paramagnetic centre that is unobservable by e.p.r., but causes anisotropic broadening of the e.p.r. signal of the other electron. Complex-formation between Fe-proteins and MgATP is described in terms of a 50-60 degrees rotation of the e.p.r.-observable centre.
