This volume comprehensively covers the field of nitroxides, critically discussing recent findings and analyzing future developments. Authored by experienced scientists in chemistry, physicochemistry, biochemistry, and biophysics, it aims to provide a discussion rather than an exhaustive survey of each topic, emphasizing theoretical and experimental backgrounds alongside recent advances. The initial chapters outline the general theoretical framework and advantages of modern ESR techniques. Following this, the book delves into the fundamentals of nitroxide preparation and basic chemical properties, along with their roles as spin probes, redox probes, and spin traps. These discussions lay the groundwork for more detailed studies of nitroxides in physicochemistry. The latter chapters highlight the benefits of magnetic materials derived from nitroxides, culminating in a concluding chapter that explores the rapidly evolving biomedical, therapeutic, and clinical applications of nitroxides. With over 1,100 references to essential literature, this volume equips readers with fundamental knowledge of instrumentation, data interpretation, and the recent advantages of nitroxide applications, enabling them to leverage nitroxides in addressing their own research challenges.

This book presents the versatile and pivotal role of electron spin interactions in nature. It provides the background, methodologies and tools for basic areas related to spin interactions, such as spin chemistry and biology, electron transfer, light energy conversion, photochemistry, radical reactions, magneto-chemistry and magneto-biology. The book also includes an overview of designing advanced magnetic materials, optical and spintronic devices and photo catalysts. This monograph will be of interest to scientists and graduate students working in the areas related to spin interactions physics, biophysics, chemistry and chemical engineering.

Filling the gap on the market for comprehensive coverage of this versatile class of compounds, the scope of this monograph ranges from preparation and modern methods of investigation, via chemical and photochemical reactions, photochronism and nonlinear effects, to stilbenes as bases for optical and measuring instruments, applications in industry, biochemistry and biomedicine, and as fluorescence-photochrome biophysical labels.Invaluable for molecular biologists, materials scientists and cell biologists, as well as catalytic, organic, medicinal and complex chemists, and those working with/on organometallics.
