On the spin distribution in bridged anthracene - viologen molecules : an electron - nuclear double resonance study
نویسنده
چکیده
Studies on the spin distribution in the radical state of anthracene-a bridgeviologen supermolecules with different bridge units are reported. Electronnuclear double resonance experiments (ENDOR) were performed on electrochemically reduced molecules. Proton hyperfine coupling constants at different molecular sites were obtained and are discussed in detail. The experimentally determined values are compared with quantum chemical calculations of the INDO type. The observed spin distribution depends significantly on the type of the bridging unit. The relevance of the spin distribution for electron transfer in donor-bridge-acceptor molecular complexes is discussed.

Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, also known as Electron Spin Resonance(ESR) especially among physicists, is a strong and versatile spectroscopic method forinvestigation of paramagnetic systems, i.e. systems like free radicals and most transition metalions, which have unpaired electrons. The sensitivity and selectivity of EPR are notable andintriguing as compared to other spec...

The electronic structure of manganese (Mn) cluster in photosystem II was investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. In order to determine the spin density distribution in magnetically coupled Mn in the S2 state Mn cluster, pulsed electron-electron double resonance (PELDOR) measurement was performed. The local environment of the Mn cluster was investigated by electron-nu...
متن کاملEnhanced sensitivity of electron-nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) by cross polarisation and relaxation.
Electron-nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) is a method of choice to detect magnetic nuclei in the coordination sphere of paramagnetic molecules, but its sensitivity substantially suffers from saturation effects. Recently we introduced a new pulsed ENDOR experiment based on electron-nuclear cross polarisation (CP) transfer. Here we analyse the time evolution of the spin polarization in CP-ENDOR a...
متن کاملIntersystem crossing mediated by photoinduced intramolecular charge transfer: julolidine-anthracene molecules with perpendicular pi systems.
Time-resolved electron paramagnetic resonance studies show that the primary mechanism of triplet formation following photoexcitation of julolidine-anthracene molecules linked by a single bond and having perpendicular pi systems is a spin-orbit, charge-transfer intersystem crossing mechanism (SOCT-ISC). This mechanism depends on the degree of charge transfer from julolidine to anthracene, the di...
