The EPR experiment
• Put sample into experimental magnetic field (B)
• Irradiate (microwave frequencies)
• Measure absorbance of radiation as f(B)

The hyperfine effect• The magnetic field experienced by the unpaired electron
is affected by nearby nuclei with non-zero nuclear spin

Hyperfine splitting of EPR spectra
• The magnitude of the splitting and the number of lines depend upon:– The nuclear spin of the interacting nucleus
• # of lines = 2n(I + ½) so I = ½ gives 2 lines, etc.– The nuclear gyromagnetic ratio– The magnitude of the interaction between the
electronic spin and the nuclear spin• Magnitude of the splitting typically decreases
greatly with increasing numbers of bonds between the nucleus and unpaired electron

Hyperfine coupling
If the electron is surrounded by n spin-active nuclei with a spin quantum
number of I, then a (2nI+1) line pattern will be observed in a similar way to
NMR.
In the case of the hydrogen atom (I= ½), this would be 2(1)(½) + 1 = 2 lines.

If the odd, unpaired electron is associated with a nucleus with nuclear spin, can get coupling between the two spins and observe 2I+1 (I = nuclear spin) “peaks” or “valleys”.

superhyperfine splitting
carbon compound; I(C) = 0; 2(0) + 1 = 1 peak…. But:
If the odd, unpaired electron spends time around multiple sets of equivalent nuclei, additional splitting is observed: 2nI + 1; this is called “superhyperfine splitting.”
Examples:
Triplet Quartet Pentet

Superhyperfine splitting is direct evidence for COVALENCY!

It is possible for the unpaired electron to spend differing amounts of time on different nuclei.
The greater the covalency, the greater is the hyperfine splitting.
Triplet: hyperfine splitting.Doublet: superhyperfine splitting. Interpretation: electron is spending most of its time on CH2 protons, but spending some time on –OH.
Pentet: hyperfine splitting.Pentet: superhyperfine splitting. Interpretation: electron is spending most of its time on one set of protons, but spending some time on other set.

Septet: hyperfine splitting. IF= ½, so 2(6)(1/2) + 1 =7Triplet: superhyperfine splitting.IN= 1, so 2(1)(1) + 1 = 3So, spending most time on F’s, less on N.
Nonet: hyperfine splitting. IN= 1, so 2(4)(1) + 1 =9Pentet: superhyperfine splitting.IH= 1/2, so 2(4)(1/2) + 1 = 5So, spending most time on N’s, less on H.

Anisotropic Interactions: The g-tensorThe free electron has a g-value of ge=2.0023There may be spin-orbit coupling which will effect the ge
lets look at the simple case of Boron, 2p1.
If all the orbitals have same energy then the spin orbit coupling energy averages to zero over the x,y, and z coordinate.
However, if the atom is placed in a crystal which removes the degeneracy then the spin orbit coupling becomes asymmetric, px = py but do not equal to pz
Now the observed g-value will depend upon orientation of the crystal in the magnetic field.
![Page 26: Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022033019/568156de550346895dc48601/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Axial symmetryg|| = gz and g = gx = gy
The g value tells you how strong the electron magnetic tensor is in a given direction.
Therefore if you orientate the crystal in a different direction the energy to resonate changes and thus the absorption will shift.
This effect is similar to shielding in the NMR experiment.
The spin-orbit coupling gives a g < g || = ge

What happens if the crystal is ground into a powder?All orientations are present however there are more chances that the g will be aligned with the field than g ||.
