Popis: International audience; We built a broadband Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectrometer capable of fieldand frequency sweep experiments under field-, microwave amplitude-and microwave frequencymodulation detection modes (HM, AM, and FM, respectively). The spectrometer is based on a coplanar waveguide (CPW) architecture, with the sample being deposited on top of the transmission line. We tested the functionality of this spectrometer by measuring a standard 2,2-diphenyl-1-(2,4,6trinitrophenyl)hydrazyl (DPPH) sample, and complex (N n Bu 4) 2 [Cu 3 (μ 3-Cl) 2 (μ-pz) 3 Cl 3 ] (1), dropcasted on the CPW. Complex 1 had been previously studied by conventional X-band EPR spectroscopy (Chem. Eur. J. 2020, 26, 12769-1784) and comparison with the past studies, validated the functionality of the spectrometer and confirmed the stability of the sample upon deposition. Moreover, our results highlighted the importance of surface effects and of the orientation of the microwave magnetic component B 1 on the lineshapes of the recorded spectra.
