• Magnetic moments of nuclei No mixing of nuclear wave functions Very weak interactions Very small magnetic moments • Consequences: All nuclei of a particular type resonate at
about the same frequency • Nuclear wave functions do not overlap
• All nuclear wave functions can be treated equivalently
NMR Spectroscopy
![Page 3: Fundamentals and Applications of Electron Paramagnetic ...€¦ · Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Troy, NY 12180 Fundamentals and Applications](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050210/5f5c62e6f7943368be52bcfd/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• Magnetic moments of unpaired electrons • Unpaired electrons are usually the valence electrons • Greatly affected by bonding
• Electronic wave functions do overlap
• Treat different cases separately

EPR Line Shapes
g
• Detection is limited by noise components • Phase-sensitive amplitude detection • Small amplitude sinusoidal field is modulated during a scan • Detects signals that change amplitude as the field changes • Allows for amplification using AC techniques • Results in derivative line shapes • Enhanced sensitivity, improved signal-to-noise level and resolution

• It is an inherent property of an unpaired spin
• Similar to the chemical shift in NMR
• Measures how far the magnetic environment of the spin differs from a free gas-phase electron
• The g value for a single unpaired electron is: ge = 2.002
• The g value for an S = 1/2 system is usually near ge (with exceptions)
What is g?!

Sensitivity
• EPR detects net absorption • Absorption is proportional to the number of spins in the lower
energy level • Emission is proportional to the number of spins in the upper
energy level • Net Absorption depends on N– and N+
• Ratio of populations at equilibrium is given by the Boltzmann distribution
• EPR sensitivity increases with decreasing temperature and increasing magnetic field strength
N-/N+ = e geb
eH/kT

Saturation
• AT RT, the energy levels are nearly equally populated • Intense radiation will tend to equalize the population of spins • Leads to a decrease in net absorption • Effect is called "saturation” • Spin system returns to thermal equilibrium via energy transfer
to surroundings • Known as spin-lattice relaxation with time constant, T1 • Spins with a long T1 are easily saturated • Spins with shorter T1 are more difficult to saturate • Spin-orbit coupling provides an important energy transfer
mechanism

Spin-spin Interactions
• Isotropic exchange interaction requires overlap of the electron wave
functions. J is very small for inter-spin distances > ~ 1 nm
• Dipolar interaction depends on inter-spin distance and angle of the inter-
spin vector with external magnetic field

Spin Orbit Couplings
• The coupling between the electron spin and the orbital
angular momentum • In the reference frame of the electron, the nucleus is moving
charge that generates a magnetic field • The magnetic field interacts with the spin magnetic moment • These are relativistic effects • Effects are small for organic radicals • The heavier atoms (e.g. transition metals) have spin orbit
couplings much larger than the Zeeman interaction • This leads to significant g anisotropy • Spin-orbit coupling provides an important energy transfer
mechanism
![Page 15: Fundamentals and Applications of Electron Paramagnetic ...€¦ · Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Troy, NY 12180 Fundamentals and Applications](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050210/5f5c62e6f7943368be52bcfd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Half-integer High Spin Systems • Non-degenerate energy levels even at zero field • Known as zero-field splittings • Involves spin orbit coupling combined with deviations from
regular symmetry

Rhombograms
• Assume weak field limit (zero-field energies >> Zeeman
energy) • The S = n/2 high-spin multiplet forms (n+1)/2 Kramers’
doublets • Kramers’ doublets are separated by significantly large energies • Each doublet can yield a spectrum which is an effective S = ½
transition with three effective g values • g effective values no longer depend on D and E but only on the
E/D ratio • Thus, any high-spin half integer spin system has an EPR
spectrum that is a function of a single parameter, E/D

Reading of Rhombograms
• All possible g values for a subspectrum from a Kramers’
doublet are represented by three curves • Spectral analysis means moving horizontally and matching the
g effective values • A given rhombicity should reproduce the experimentally
observed g values • The g effective values can then be reproduced by numerical
simulations • Note that not all transitions are observed in the experimental
system
