Electron-electron double-resonance investigations of irradiated organic crystals: The influence of deuterium substitution
- Univ. of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, AL (United States)
Electron-electron double resonance (ELDOR) investigations of irradiated organic crystals have shown promising uses of deuterium substitution in the ELDOR identification of magnetically different radicals associated with a poorly resolved ESR spectrum. Replacement of the water of crystallization in potassium acetate with deuterium oxide has removed the proton spin-flip lines in the ELDOR spectrum of the methyl radical and has increased the ELDOR resolution observed at 77°K. Studies of the hydrogen-deuterium exchange reactions in irradiated glycine-d3 and L-alanine crystals have shown the absence of ELDOR lines at the deuteron hyperfine frequency aD and the absence of proton-deuteron combination lines, but the presence of an intense line at the proton hyperfine splitting frequency. In addition, a decrease in the intermolecular cross-exchange near room temperature permitted a separation of the proton ELDOR spectra for each hydrogen-deuterium exchange reaction, making it possible to identify the different simultaneously occurring reactions.
