EPR Spectroscopy in a Nutshell
• It is like NMR but is limited to paramagnetic systems
• Invented by Zavoiski in Kazan in 1944
• It needs a magnetic field and electromagnetic radiation
• Unlike NMR the field is scanned and the frequency is fixed

.•Most of the efforts for the development of EPR at high frequeny are aimed at the extention at millimeter and sub-millimeter waves of the general design of the conventional microwave bridge.• The main problem along this path is the availability and/or the design and realization of devices (magic Tees, circulator, phase shifter etc.) able to carry on the function of the low-frequency analogoue.
The microvave techniques are used in conventional EPR. The propagation of the radiation is made by using mono- modal metallic rectangular waveguides, metallic cavities and the other devices present in a typical microwave bridge.
The microwave techniques can be successfully extended up to 150 GHz ca. Above this frequency waveguides become eccessively lossy (typical figure of merit 12 dB/m at 250 GHz) and the rectangular or cylindric cavities eccessively small.

EPR Spectroscopy in a Nutshell: Zeeman Term
In a system with S= 1/2, when the static magnetic field is parallel to z,
E(M)= MgμBH
a transition is observed when
gz BH= hν= ge BH0Similar expressions hold for x, and y.
The g values and their anisotropy depend on the chemical environment, therefore they provide structural information

High Frequency EPR: Why?
• increased resolution• simpler spectra• orientation effects• spectra from integer spin systems
with large zero field splitting• sign of the zero field splitting• different time scale
![Page 36: Magnetic techniques for molecular and nanometric materials Dante Gatteschi & Roberta Sessoli February 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649c7b5503460f9492e8bf/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Enhanced Resolution
• The g tensor anisotropy of tyrosyl radicals present for instance in Photosystem II is completely resolved at high frequency. This provides important structural information, like their main orientation in the membranes.
![Page 37: Magnetic techniques for molecular and nanometric materials Dante Gatteschi & Roberta Sessoli February 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649c7b5503460f9492e8bf/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Tyrosyl Radicals
• They are present in RNR and in Photosystem II
• RNR: ribonucleotide reductase catalyzes the reduction of ribonucleotide to deoxyribonucleotides

Higher order termsHigher order terms, which have their origin in higher order perturbations, are most coveniently described by Stevens operator equivalents:

Advantages of the Stevens Operators
• They fully exploit the symmetry: easy calculations
• The number of the terms to be included are defined by symmetry
• For a C4 quantization axis only the k= 0 and k= 4 terms must be included
• For C2, k=0,2,4
• The Onk operators couple states differing in
M by ±k

Quantitative LF Approach
Bencini,A.; Ciofini,I.; Uytterhoeven, M.G. Inorg. Chim. Acta 1998, 274, 90
The energies of the LF levels are calculated using a full matrix diagonalization approach. The SH parameters, in principle to any order, are obtained by best fit of the calculated energies.
Both classic crystal field and Angular Overlap parametrization can be used

“EPR silent species”
• Ions with even numbers of unpaired electrons are EPR silent in a conventional X- or Q-band experiment due to large zero field splitting
• HF-EPR spectra of Mn(III), Fe(II), Ni(II), etc. become available

Gadolinium Contrast Agents
Contrast enhanced MRI is a very effective technique for detecting and characterizing lesions, for identifying patho-physiological abnormalities and for providing functional information.
Usually contrast agents are slowly relaxing paramagnets.
Gd3+ is widely used because of its large spin
