Theory of ESR Linewidths of Free Radicals
Abstract
A theory of ESR linewidths for substances in which the magnetic anisotropy is small and for which the orbital magnetism has been essentially quenched is developed. Nuclear quadrupole moments, zero field splittings, anisotropic Zeeman terms, and intramolecular electron-nuclear dipolar interactions, as well as motional and exchange effects are considered in the strong field case. The theory is developed in a manner that is particularly adaptable to the study of liquids but it is also applied to crystals since the resulting equations, though only applicable for small anisotropies, are particularly simple. The theory provides an extension of previous theories on ESR spectra in liquids. Several applications of the theory are discussed with particular emphasis on V4+ chelates. The theory of exchange in liquids, a phenomenon which is complicated by the noncommutivity of the motional and exchange Hamiltonians is considered in special detail. It is shown that this theory can be used to explain Hausser's results—the existence of an optimum viscosity for the observation of hyperfine structure.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
