EPR spectroscopy is a technique that detects and measures the properties of unpaired electron spins such as in free radicals and transition metals for example. Here the applications of EPR to chemical studies are reviewed, including investigations of free radical structures and their reaction kinetics and mechanisms. The important fields of spin trapping and spin labelling are also covered. Applications to transition metal compounds and to studies of surface chemistry and catalysis are described. Finally, applications of some more advanced EPR techniques are summarized. |
