EPR for Studying Antioxidant Behavior

Description

Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) helps students study unpaired electrons in chemical systems. EPR spectroscopy is used here to examine how dibutylhydroxy toluene, or BHT, acts as an antioxidant during the autoxidation of aliphatic aldehydes.

The lesson focuses on the basic principles behind ...

Transcript

Electron paramagnetic resonance, or EPR, spectroscopy is an important technique for the characterization of paramagnetic compounds, such as compounds with unpaired electrons.

EPR has many important applications in the study of organic radicals, paramagnetic inorganic complexes, and bioinorganic chemistry.

This video will illustrate t...
