Dilute frozen solutions of the single molecule magnet Ni(4) (S=4) have been studied using 130 GHz electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Despite the random orientation of the molecules, well defined EPR absorption peaks are observed due to the strong variation of the splittings between the different spin states on magnetic field. Temperature dependent studies above 4 K and comparison with simul...

Thermal formation of free radicals in flumetasone sterilized according to the pharmaceutical norms at 160, 170 and 180 °C was examined by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. The microbiological analysis was done. Similar free radical concentrations were measured for flumetasone sterilized at 160 and 170 °C. The concentration was considerably higher than that for flumetasone ster...

Single crystals of one mole % Mn doped CuGaS2 (CGS) compound semiconductor were grown by a chemical vapor transport (CVT) technique in a closed system using iodine as a transporting agent. The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) of the Mn ions in a CGS single crystal has been studied with an X-band spectrometer recorded at 80 K. The spectroscopic splitting tensor (g), hyperfine constant (A) a...

We report here specialized functions incorporated recently in the rigid-body docking software toolkit TagDock to utilize electron paramagnetic resonance derived (EPR-derived) interresidue distance measurements and spin-label accessibility data. The TagDock package extensions include a custom methanethiosulfonate spin label rotamer library to enable explicit, all-atom spin-label side-chain model...

We report the nanoscale spin detection and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrum of copper $({\mathrm{Cu}}^{2+})$ ions via double electron-electron (DEER) with single spins in diamond at room temperature low magnetic fields. measure unexpectedly narrow EPR resonances linewidths $\ensuremath{\sim}2\ensuremath{-}3$ MHz from copper-chloride molecules dissolved polylysine. also observe coh...

The solid-state method was used to synthesize single phase potassium-sodium niobate (KNN) co-doped with the La3+-Mn4+ and Eu3+-Fe3+ ion pairs. Structural determination of all studied solid solutions was accomplished by XRD and Rietveld refinement method. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies were performed to determine the oxidation state of paramagnetic centers. Optical spectroscopy me...

The transferability of a measurement protocol from one laboratory to another is an important feature of any mature, standardised protocol. The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR)-tooth dosimetry technique that was developed in Scientific Center for Radiation Medicine, AMS, Ukraine (SCRM) for routine dosimetry of Chernobyl liquidators has demonstrated consistent results in several inter-labora...

We demonstrate grafting of nitroxide radicals on the surface of nanodiamonds (NDs). The surface of NDs is functionalized by azide groups. Nitroxide radicals are covalently bonded using Cu(I)-catalyzed azide/alkyne-click chemistry approach. The reaction is confirmed by infrared spectroscopy. The grafting of nitroxides is also verified by studying the rotational correlational time using electron ...

Site-directed spin labeling with continuous wave electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy was utilized to characterize dynamic features of the kink-turn motif formed through a leader-linker interaction in the Vibrio cholerae glycine riboswitch. Efficient incorporation of spin-labels into select sites within the phosphate backbone of the leader-linker region proceeded via splinted liga...

We present general expressions for the magnetic transition rates in electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiments of anisotropic spin systems in the solid state. The expressions apply to general spin centers and arbitrary excitation geometry (Voigt, Faraday, and intermediate). They work for linear and circular polarized as well as unpolarized excitation, and for crystals and powders. The ex...
