THE 2ND GENERATION OF MAGNETIC EFFECTS IN CHEMICAL-REACTIONS

Spin-selective chemical reactions must be also magnetically-sensitive ones. The susceptibility of the chemical reactions to magnetic interac tions is the source of the two magnetic effects generations. The first generation includes magnetic field effect, magnetic isotope effect an d chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarisation. All these effects a re included by the static (external or internal) magnetic fields. The second generation effects are produced by external electromagnetic fie lds acting on the chemically reacting spin systems.
