Magnetic field effects due to the Delta g mechanism upon chemical reactions through radical pairs under ultrahigh fields of up to 30 T

Magnetic field effects (MFEs) due to the isotropic ag mechanism were studie d for the hydrogen abstraction reactions of 4-methoxy-benzophenone with thi ophenol in several solvents at 293 K by a laser flash photolysis technique under ultrahigh magnetic fields of up to 30 T. In 2-propanol, ethanol, and methanol, the yield of the escaped ketyl radical decreased with increasing magnetic field from 0 to 30 T. In 2-methyl-1-propanol, however, the decreas e was almost saturated at 20 T and the yield above 20 T reduced to be 2/3 O f that at 0 T. Such saturation of the MFEs due to the isotropic Delta g mec hanism in the reaction through radical pairsin solution was found for the f irst time.
