An introduction is given on electron paramagnetic resonance and its applications to organic and inorganic chemistry. Mention is made of the scope of the field, and various terms which have been used to define its area of operation are classified. The paramagnetic phenomena are considered to fall into two main categories: those resulting primarily from nuclear behavior and those having an electronic origin. ln the first case, concern is primarily with energy transitions based on the spin of the nucleus and its associated magnetic moment. Absorption of energy is then interpreted as transitions between discrete energy levels. Deductions are made about the nature of the nuclei, basic lattice structure, electronie structure of specific molecuies, effect of electronic and lattice environments on Larmor precession, energy couplings involving nuclear spin, orbits and spins of nearby particles, and applicable relaxation times. Special attention is also given to paramagnetic materials. 105 references are included. (P.C.H.)
