The spin-lattice relaxation of some a-diketone radical anions has been studied following their production in a spin-polarized state by reaction of the parent molecule with a polarized primary radical. The latter was the amine radical which results on irradiation of benzophenone in the presence of triethylamine ; the relaxation of the polarized benzophenone ketyl produced simultaneously was also studied.The relaxation of the radical anion from camphorquinone has been investigated in several solvents over wide ranges of viscosity and temperature and has been analysed in terms of contributions from the spin-rotation and g-anisotropy interactions. Different relaxation tirrles were observed at low temperature from optically active d-camphorquinone radical anion in solution in the two optical isomers of 2-octanol.
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.
