“…More recently, Polimeno and co-workers have studied nematic liquid crystalline environments by performing SLE simulations of the EPR spectra of the prototypical nitroxide probes 4-hexadecanoyloxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxy and pmethylthiophenylnitronyl nitroxide in isotropic and nematic phases of nematic liquid crystals. 54,56 These authors reported a software tool based on the numerical solution of SLE that evaluates EPR spectra for rigid, or flexible, single or multi-labelled paramagnetic molecules in both isotropic and ordered phases. In particular, simulation of EPR spectra of macromolecules labelled with two dipolar-coupled nitroxide spin labels have been reported.…”
