VERY-HIGH-FIELD EPR AND ITS APPLICATIONS

A kind of review of recent developments of the very-high-field EPR tec hnique and applications is presented, the largest part of attention be ing attracted to studies of molecular structures and molecular and che mical dynamics of free radicals, biradicals and some paramagnetic comp lexes. The very recent results on thermal spin polarization effects on high-field / low-temperature EPR lineshape are overviewed. These effe cts are proved to provide a novel approach to study systems with S > 1 /2, particularly radical pairs, radical clusters and biradicals.
