Abstract

T(1) paramagnetic relaxation of radical ions induced by degenerate electron exchange (DEE) reactions is studied theoretically and experimentally. Our theoretical analysis shows that T(1) relaxation time is well described by the Redfield theory at arbitrary values of the characteristic DEE time tau. Longitudinal relaxation of norbornane (NB) radical cation is studied by means of the time-resolved magnetic field effects (TR-MFE) technique; the rate constant of DEE involving NB(*+) radical cation and NB neutral molecule is obtained. Advantages of the TR-MFE technique and its potential for measuring the short DEE times are discussed in detail.
