First, let us discuss the similarities. Here, the electron Spin resonance spectroscopy (EPR) or sometimes known as electron spin resonance (ESR) will be discussed. Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy or It’s fun to flip electrons! In one of the most fundamental experiments on the structure of matter, Stern and Gerlach showed that an atom with a net electron magnetic moment can take up only discrete orientations in a magnetic field. The electron spin resonance spectrum of a free radical or coordination complex with one unpaired electron is the simplest of all forms of spectroscopy. Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy is also known as Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) It is absorption spectroscopy similar to NMR. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy also known as electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy has been used to characterize paramagnetic surface species for a long time. This technique offers detailed atomistic insights into the properties of the species, such as geometric and electronic structure or chemical environment. Since the magnetic field interacts with the spin, the spin of the system has to be nonzero. The technique of electron spin resonance may be regarded as a fascinating extension of the Stern-Gerlach experiment. 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. Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy, also referred to as electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, is a versatile, nondestructive analytical technique which can be used for a variety of applications including: oxidation and reduction processes, biradicals and triplet state molecules, reaction kinetics, as well as numerous additional applications in biology, … ESR Spectroscopy • Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy • Also called EPR Spectroscopy –Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy ... Atherton, N. M. Principles of Electron Spin Resonance; Ellis Horwood: Chichester, 1993. g Value and the factors affecting it 18 ESR spectroscopy [2-9]. Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) or Electron paramagnetic resonance Spectroscopy (EPR): powerful non-destructive magnetic resonance spectroscopic technique Used to analyse substance with one or more unpaired electrons and radicals Invented by Zavoiskii in 1944 Similar to Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) An important method of studying radicals is electron-spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. The principles of this form of spectroscopy are much the same as of NMR spectroscopy, but the language used by the practitioners of these two forms of magnetic resonance spectroscopy is different. Because of this reason, the system having free electrons or unpaired electrons is required for this spectroscopic study.
