Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) is a remarkably useful form of spectroscopy used to study molecules or atoms with an unpaired electron. It is less widely used than NMR because stable molecules often do not have unpaired electrons (i.e., paramagnetic). However, EPR can be used analytically to observe labeled species in situ either biologically or in chemical reactions.
- ENDOR - Theory
- Electron-nuclear double resonance spectroscopy (ENDOR) is a powerful advanced EPR technique that probes the environment surrounding paramagnetic centers. It is of great use to further examine paramagnetic samples which give complicated spectra via the standard EPR method due to electronic-nuclear interactions manifested as the hyperfine interaction.
- EPR: Introduction
- Though less used than Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) is a remarkably useful form of spectroscopy used to study molecules or atoms with an unpaired electron. It is less widely used than NMR because stable molecules often do not have unpaired electrons. However, EPR can be used analytically to observe labeled species in situ either biologically or in a chemical reaction.
- EPR - Interpretation
- Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR), also called electron spin resonance (ESR), is a technique used to study chemical species with unpaired electrons. EPR spectroscopy plays an important role in the understanding of organic and inorganic radicals, transition metal complexes, and some biomolecules.
- EPR - Parallel Mode Operation
- This module presents the theory that describes how EPR transitions can be induced in integer high spin systems by the application of a modulating magnetic field parallel to the bond axis (z-axis), as well as some of the applications of this technique to various molecular systems.
- EPR - Theory
- Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR), also called Electron Spin Resonance (ESR), is a branch of magnetic resonance spectroscopy which utilizes microwave radiation to probe species with unpaired electrons, such as radicals, radical cations, and triplets in the presence of an externally applied static magnetic field.
- Hyperfine Splitting
- This splitting occurs due to hyperfine coupling (the EPR analogy to NMR’s J coupling) and further splits the fine structure (occurring from spin-orbit interaction and relativistic effects) of the spectra of atoms with unpaired electrons. Although hyperfine splitting applies to multiple spectroscopy techniques such as NMR, this splitting is essential and most relevant in the utilization of EPR.
