M. Wakasa et al., REVERSION OF MAGNETIC-FIELD EFFECTS OBSERVED IN THE REACTION OF A TRIPLET-BORN RADICAL PAIR CONSISTING OF 2 EQUIVALENT SULFUR-CENTERED RADICALS, Journal of physical chemistry, 99(35), 1995, pp. 13181-13186
Magnetic field effects (MFEs) on the triplet sensitization of p-aminop
henyl disulfide were investigated in a sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) mic
ellar solution by means of a nanosecond laser flash photolysis techniq
ue at high magnetic fields up to 10 T. The yield of the escaped (P-ami
nophenyl)thiyl radical increased steeply with increasing magnetic fiel
d strength (B) from 0 to 1 T, but decreased gradually from 1 to 10 T.
At 10 T, the yield of the escaped radical became similar to that at 0
T. The MFEs observed at both low (B less than or equal to 1 T) and hig
h (1 T < B < 10 T) fields were simultaneously quenched by the addition
of a paramagnetic Gd3+ ion, Thus, these reverted MFEs were interprete
d by the relaxation mechanism through anisotropic hyperfine and Zeeman
interactions.
