    Author: Hanaishi R.
    Journal: J Magn Reson; 2008 Jul; 193(1):119-26. PubMed ID: 18486510.
    Abstract:
    A stochastic Liouville equation (SLE) was numerically solved to obtain pulsed Fourier-transform (FT) EPR spectra on a radical pair system created in a photo-induced chemical reaction. Numerical calculations were applied to the photo-chemical reaction of deuterated acetone and 2-propanol at low temperatures. In this reaction system, the antiphase structures of the EPR signals, so called spin-correlated radical pair (SCRP) signals of two identical isopropyl ketyl radicals and spin-polarized free isopropyl ketyl radicals were observed by FT-EPR and continuous wave time-resolved (CW TR) EPR techniques. In the present work, FT-EPR spectra of the antiphase structure signals of the radical pair themselves as well as spin-polarized free radical signals were simulated. Additionally, rising behavior of free radical signals polarized by the radical pair mechanism (RPM) was also clarified. Furthermore two-dimensional (2D) FT-EPR nutation spectra were simulated in the both cases with and without the radical pairs by the use of SLE. In these simulations, strong DC components in the nutation frequency dimension, were well reproduced as was obtained in experiments. It was shown that relaxation during the microwave pulse was essential for the appearance of the DC components.
