Sa. Dzuba et al., ESEEM STUDY OF SPIN-SPIN INTERACTIONS IN SPIN-POLARIZED P(-) PAIRS INTHE PHOTOSYNTHETIC PURPLE BACTERIUM RHODOBACTER-SPHAEROIDES R26()Q(A)(), Chemical physics letters, 236(6), 1995, pp. 595-602
Electron spin echo envelope modulation (ESEEM) of the transient spin-p
olarised P(+)Q(A)(-) pairs has been studied at 20 and 220 K. The obser
ved strong out-of-phase modulation is interpreted as resulting from el
ectron-electron dipolar and exchange interactions. Fourier-transformed
echo envelopes are consistent with the theory developed recently by T
ang, Thurnauer and Norris and allow us to obtain readily the values of
dipolar and exchange couplings. The results are insensitive to N-15 e
nrichment.
