Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies of copper ions, Cu(II), as paramagnetic impurity in tetraaqua-di(nicotinamide) Zn(II)-saccharinates single crystals [Zn(nic)2(H2O)4](sac)2, have been investigated at ambient temperature. The detailed EPR analysis shows the only one site and the copper ion entered the lattice substitutionally in place of Zn(II). The spin-Hamiltonian parameters were obtained from the single crystal EPR analysis. By using the EPR data, molecular bonding coefficient and the Fermi contact interaction terms have been evaluated. Superhyperfine splittings were observed.

Unraveling the electronic structure of metal complexes can bring various catalytic possibilities for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, the electronic effect of metal and ligands modulating and switching the reaction center for HER has yet to be comprehensively analyzed. Herein, we report nickel selenoether electrocatalysts which show tunable reaction centers (nickel or ligand) for HER using mild weak acetic acid in less deprotonating DMF solvent.

Purpose: Solid crystalline spin probes, such as lithium phthalocyanine (LiPc) and lithium octa-n-butoxynaphthalocyanine (LiNc-BuO), allow repeated oxygen measurement using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Due to their short relaxation times, their use for pulse EPR oxygen imaging is limited. In this study, we developed and tested a new class of solid composite spin probes that modified the relaxation rates R and R of LiPc or LiNc-BuO probes, which allowed pO measurements in the full dynamic (0-760 torr) range.

Purpose: Redox homeostasis plays a key role in regulating the overall health and development of organisms. This study aimed to develop a compact and mobile continuous-wave (CW) electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) imager to facilitate stable, highly sensitive fast three-dimensional (3D) whole-body imaging of nitroxide-infused mice.

Methods: A multiturn loop gap resonator with a diameter of 30 mm and length of 35 mm was designed for whole-body EPR imaging.

Iron-sulfur clusters play a crucial role in electron transfer for many essential enzymes, including [FeFe]-hydrogenases. This study focuses on the [4Fe4S] cluster ([4Fe]H) of the minimal [FeFe]-hydrogenase from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (CrHydA1) and employs advanced spectroscopy, site-directed mutagenesis, molecular dynamics simulations, and QM/MM calculations. We provide insights into the complex electronic structure of [4Fe]H and its role in the catalytic reaction of CrHydA1, serving as paradigm for understanding [FeFe]-hydrogenases.
