Abstract
We report for the first time a magnetic field effect on radical pair recomb ination involving fullerene clusters in a fluorinated micelle. It is found that the rate of decay of radicals increases with increasing external magne tic field strength. The effect at high field is attributed to the g-anisotr opy-induced relaxation mechanism.
