ELECTRON PARAMAGNETIC RESONANCE (EPR) SPECTROSCOPY AND GEOCHEMISTRY IN TIN EXPLORATION AT RENISON, TASMANIA AUSTRALIA

Authors: not saved
Abstract:

Rock powder of dolomite samples from the Renison mine area of Tasmania, Australia were analyzed by electron paramagnentic resonance spectroscopy (EPR), Atomic Absorption and Mass Spectrometer to identify alteration related to mineralisation. The least-altered dolomite samples, which are not effected by circulation of diagenetic and hydrothermal fluids are characterised by low Mn and Fe and heavier oxygen isotope values. In contrast, the altered samples are characterised by high Fe and Mn and light oxygen isotope values. Significant differences in EPR intensity exist between the unaltered and altered dolomite samples. The highly altered samples close to the nlineralised area are characterised by strong EPR intensities of Mn sextets observed at magnetic flux density sweeps over 326.3 2500 mT and 326.3 1000 mT, which correspond to the higher Mn and Fe and lighter oxygen isotope values. In contrast, in the least-altered dolomites, away from the mineralised area, the EPR intensity and Mn and Fe concentrations are low and oxygen isotope values are more enriched

Demystifying EPR: A Rookie Guide to the Application of Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy on Biomolecules

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...

Tetrachloridocuprates(II)—Synthesis and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) Spectroscopy

Ionic liquids (ILs) on the basis of metal containing anions and/or cations are of interest for a variety of technical applications e.g., synthesis of particles, magnetic or thermochromic materials. We present the synthesis and the results of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopic analyses of a series of some new potential ionic liquids based on tetrachloridocuprates(II), [CuCl(4)](...

Nitroxides and nucleic acids: Chemistry and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy*

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy has increasingly been applied for the study of nucleic acid structure and dynamics. Such studies require incorporation of free radicals (spin labels) into the biopolymer. The labels can be incorporated during chemical synthesis of the oligomer (phosphoramidite approach) or postsynthetically, by reaction of a spin-labeling reagent with a reactiv...

Determination of the Antioxidant Status of the Skin by In Vivo-Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) Spectroscopy

Organisms produce free radicals which are essential for various metabolic processes (enzymatic oxidation, cellular respiration, signaling). Antioxidants are important chemical compounds that specifically prevent the oxidation of substances by scavenging radicals, especially reactive oxygen species (ROS). Made up of one or two unpaired electrons, ROS are free radicals that are highly reactive an...
