Abstract

This present work consists of multifrequency Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) studies of the model compounds by performing EPR experiments on Vanadyl acetylacetonate [VO(acac)2] and Vanadyl meso-tetraphenylporphin [VO(TPP)] at different frequencies (3GHz, 9.9GHz, 23.8GHz, 34GHz and 95GHz) in motional narrowing regime and at 9.9 GHz in rigid limit regime. Additional experiments were performed on PD-Tempone (Perdeuterated 2, 2, 6, 6-Tetramethyl-4-piperidone N-Oxide) spin labels in Cyclodextrins and glycerol/water mixtures at 9.3GHz from the rigid limit to the motional narrowing regime.
