Abstract This paper presents the findings of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy experiments conducted on two different samples: 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and Manganese Chloride (MnCl2) dissolved in H2O.
The experiments were conducted at Dr. D. Petasis EPR lab located in Allegheny College, Meadville, PA, USA. A Varian X-Band spectrometer was utilized for the analysis of the EPR absorption spectra. The primary objective was to determine the g-values and hyperfine structure of the two samples, which can be crucial in characterizing their electronic properties. The g-values obtained for both DPPH and MnCl2 were found to be remarkably close to the theoretically calculated values, suggesting the high accuracy and success of the experiments. This agreement validates the reliability of the EPR measurements and demonstrates the precision of the instruments and experimental procedures employed. For the MnCl2 sample, a hyperfine structure with 6 visible EPR lines was observed. By analyzing the number of EPR lines, the nuclear spin of the Mn(II) ion was determined to be I = 5/2, consistent with the expected value for Mn(II). The hyperfine constant (A) was also calculated from the field position differences between adjacent lines, providing further insights into the sample's magnetic properties.
Comparisons were made between the obtained g-values and hyperfine constant with the expected values for Mn(II) in the literature, confirming the accuracy of the measurements and reinforcing the credibility of the experimental data. Overall, the EPR spectroscopy experiments conducted on DPPH and MnCl2 in H2O have provided valuable information about the electronic and magnetic properties of these paramagnetic materials. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of EPR spectroscopy as a powerful experimental technique for investigating various bio-chemical samples and understanding the effects of solvents on the EPR spectra of compounds. The close agreement between the experimental and theoretical values for the g-factors and hyperfine constants reinforces the reliability of the data obtained from the EPR experiments.
