ESR spectroscopy of transition metal compound and organic radicals
ESR spectroscopy is used to understand processes in reactivity of new complexes in catalytic reactions, based on transient active species, via paramagnetic transition metal molecules. We studied the stability of macromolecules in processes of degradation and isomerization by the presence of unpaired electrons, that accelerated the oxidative degradation of polymer chain.
