Abstract An analysis of the electron spin resonance spectra of gamma-irradiated crystals of magnesium-hypophosphite, Mg (H2PO2)2 · 6 H2O, has shown that the main long-lived paramagnetic species produced by gamma-irradiation are HPO2- and PO3- ionic radicals. The hyperfine interaction tensor of the phosphorous nucleus has the principal values T|| = 1674, T⊥ = 1221 Mc/s in HPO2- and T|| = 2490, T⊥ = 1847 Mc/s in PO3-. In HPO2- , interaction of the unpaired electron with the proton gives rise to an almost isotropic hyperfine coupling of 233 Mc/s. These results indicate that the orbitals occupied by the unpaired electron in both HPO2- and PO3= are sp3 -hybrid σ-orbitals centered on the phosphorous nuclei.

The linewidths of the hyperfine components of the ESR spectra of vanadyl tetraphenylporphyrin in liquid toluene have been measured as a function of temperature and analyzed in detail. This has allowed the separate contributions to the observed ESR line widths from spin rotational, g tensor anisotropy, hyperfine anisotropy and unresolved nitrogen hyperfine coupling to be evaluated. These results have been used to estimate the size of the nitrogen isotropic hyperfine coupling constant and thus the extent of delocalization of the unpaired electron onto the nitrogen atoms.

Abstract Potassium hydrogen sulphate single crystal has been γ-irradiated at room temperature and its electron spin resonance spectrum recorded by changing the H0 static magnetic field, around an orthogonal axes system. The electron spin resonance spectrum is a single line with a slightly anisotropic g factor. The paramagnetic species has been identified as SO3- and the principal values of the g tensor has been determined as g1=g2=2.0060, g3 = 2.0045. Direction cosines of the principalvalues of the g tensor with respect to the chosen axes have been determined. The spin-orbit contribution to the g-factor has been explained.

Abstract NaNO3, Sr(NO3)2, BaS, and MgC2O4·2 H2O powders have been gamma-irradiated at room temperature and their electron spin resonance spectra examined for paramagnetic species. The species identified were NO3 and NO2 radicals in the nitrates, SO2- and S in BaS, and H2C2O4- in magnesium oxalate. Theoretical predictions agree with these assignments.

The 9.5 GHz electron spin resonance (e.s.r.) spectra of single crystal and powder samples of γ-irradiated taurine, [Formula: see text], have been recorded. Overlapping spectra from three distinct radicals are present. The first of these is the species SO3− with an isotropic g-value of 2.0035 and a 33S hyperfine coupling tensor with principal values 135.2, 99.2, and 97.9 G. The second radical is a π-electron species with the unpaired electron mainly on carbon and exhibiting hyperfine interaction from at least four protons, probably [Formula: see text] and with principal g-values 2.0021, 2.0027, and 2.0034. The third radical has principal g-values 2.0024, 2.0056, and 2.0097 and principal values of the 33S hyperfine tensor of 49.6, 9.1, and 1.2 G. The proposed structure for this radical is [Formula: see text]

The applications of electron spin resonance (ESR) to carbonaceous materials are reviewed. The stable paramagnetic species observed in the products of low-temperature pyrolysis are odd-alternate neutral free radicals, whereas the unpaired spins of higher temperature carbons and graphites are primarily conduction electrons. The variety of ESR properties and phenomena requires special attention to techniques of measurement and interpretations of results. The relevance to the carbonization process of the free radicals observed by ESR is also discussed.
