M. Wakasa et al., PARAMAGNETIC QUENCHING OF THE INVERTED MAGNETIC-FIELD EFFECTS OBSERVED IN THE PHOTOREDUCTION OF DECAFLUOROBENZOPHENONE IN A BRIJ35 MICELLARSOLUTION, Chemistry Letters, (10), 1994, pp. 1941-1944
The inversion of magnetic field effects (MFEs) observed in the photore
duction of decafluorobenzophenone was studied in the absence and prese
nce of a paramagnetic Gd3+ ion. The MFEs appearing at both low (B less
than or equal to 2 T) and high (2 T < B less than or equal to 10 T) f
ields were simultaneously quenched by the addition of Gd3+. For the pr
esent reaction, it is concluded that the inversion of the MFEs is due
to the relaxation mechanism.
