Simulation of isotropic electron spin resonance spectra: a transportable basic program

Abstract

A computer program written in BASIC is presented for the simulation of isotropic esr spectra using a microprocessor. Since BASIC is the most common microprocessor language, this program can easily be adapted to most microprocessors. Through the use of more efficient methods the capabilities of much larger FORTRAN programs, run on mainframe computers, are retained in the more restricted environment of the microprocessor. As a result, most spin trapping results can be dealt with easily. A number of sample simulations illustrate the program's features. On présente un programme pour ordinateur écrit dans le langage BASIC pour la simulation des spectres de rpe isotropes à l'aide d'un micropresseur. Puisque le langage BASIC est le plus courant des langages des microprocesseurs, on peut facilement adapter ce programme à la plupart des microprocesseurs. En faisant appel à des méthodes plus efficaces, on a retenu, dans l'environnement plus restreint du microprocesseur, les possibilités qu'offrent les programmes FORTRAN plus étendus utilisés de concert avec des ordinateurs centraux. Par conséquent, la plupart des expériences de captage de spin peuvent être traités facilement. Un certain nombre de simulations d'échantillons illustre les caractéristiques du programme.[Traduit par le journal]

Synthesis and physico-chemical properties of nitrocaffeic acids

“…Spectral simulations were carried out using a computer program. 29 Superoxide anions were produce from potassium peroxide in DMSO (0.5 mM KO 2 was dissolved in DMSO in the presence of 5 mM 18-C-6). The nitro compound was then added and the temperature was immediately lowered to 77 K. The ESR spectra were immediately recorded.…”

Substituent effects on benzylic radical hydrogen hyperfine coupling constants. Part 4. The effect of branching of the alkyl substituent

“…The radicals were generated by hydrogen atom abstraction from the corresponding toluene or by bromine atom abstraction from the corresponding benzylic bromide. The hfc's were estimated by initial measurement of the line positions from the signal averager and refined by computer simulation (8).…”

Chiral Spin Traps. The Spin Trapping Chemistry of 5-Methyl-5-phenylpyrroline-N-oxide (MPPO)

“…Hyperfine splitting constants were derived from spectral measurements based on spectrometer-calibrated field markers periodically checked with Fremy's salt. Computer simulations were performed using a slightly improved program written by Dr. U. M. Oehler (39).…”
