Overview

EPR – The ‘Workhorse Technique’ That is Still Enabling Scientists to Break New Ground After 70+ Years

A surprisingly large number of materials have unpaired electrons. These include free radicals, many transition metal ions, and defects in materials. Free radicals are often short-lived, but play crucial roles in many significant processes such as photosynthesis, oxidation, catalysis, and polymerization reactions.

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy is the only method for the direct detection of species that have unpaired electrons, and its applications span one of the widest ranges of any analytical technique.

Key Learning Objectives

  • How EPR works
  • New developments in EPR technology
  • How it can be used for in different applications, such as drug development and photovoltaic material research
