Abstract

The effect of an external heavy atom on the EPR spectra of radicals in homogeneous liquid solutions was investigated. Broadening of the lines in the EPR spectrum of the fluorescein semiquinone radical in water-ethanol solution was found under the effect of the external heavy atom. It was hypothesized that this broadening is due to an increase in the anisotropy of the g-factor due to potentiation of the spinorbital interaction on contact with the external heavy atom.
