The rate constants, ksE, of ortho-into para-positronium spin conversion reactions promoted by paramagnetic 3d complexes may be correlated with their electronic constitution as it is described by the spin-orbit coupling and interelectronic repulsion parameters. The correlation is explained in terms of unpaired metal-electron delocalization towards the complex boundaries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
