EPR in Paramagnetic Metal lons Research

For transition metal ions (including iron, palladium, and platinum group ions with unfilled 3d, 4d, and 5d respectively) and rare earth metal ions (with unfilled 4f shell), these paramagnetic metal ions can be detected by EPR spectrometer due to the presence of the single electrons in their atomic orbitals, thus obtaining the valence and structure information. The spin states have high and low spins for transition metal ions, which usually have multiple states. Parallel modes in a two-mode cavity allow the detection of integer spin systems.

EPR in Free Radical Detection

Free radicals are atoms or groups with unpaired electrons formed when covalent bonds are broken due to external factors such as light or heat. For relatively stable free radicals, EPR can detect them directly and quickly. For short-lived free radicals, they can be detected by spin trapping. For example, hydroxyl radicals, superoxide radicals, singlet oxygen photoradicals, and other free radicals generated by photocatalytic processes.

The system primarily comprises a main controller for digital control, a high-energy pulsed laser for stable photoexcitation, a laser energy meter to monitor laser pulse power, and a dielectric resonator for EPR signal detection. TR-EPR is utilized to investigate transient species such as radicals or excited triplet states in rapid reaction processes, detecting and studying these short-lived species with lifetimes in the microsecond to nanosecond range. This capability is crucial for understanding radical reaction kinetics and addresses the detection limitations of traditional equipment regarding short-lived species.
