ENDOR measurements were made on x-irradiated single crystals of hexagonal ice. The ENDOR frequencies yield the hyperfine coupling for the OH radicals produced in irradiated ice. The method is capable of distinguishing between OH radicals produced in three different environments. The principal values of the hyperfine coupling tensors in megacycles per second of the three distinct OH radicals are as follows: AxxAyyAzz(I)− 80.0− 124.4+ 9.2(II)− 81.2− 124.4+ 19.4(III)− 78.2− 126.2+ 15.6 Using ESR spectra in conjunction with ENDOR data, the g tensors were also determined with the following results: gxxgyygzz(I)2.00282.00892.0597(II)2.00312.00892.0571(III)2.00272.00882.0581
Free-radical formation was studied in x-irradiated single crystals of histidine HCl using conventional electron spin resonance (ESR) as well as double-resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy. The spectra are attributed to a free radical formed by the addition of hydrogen to the C2 position on the imidazole ring of histidine.
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.
