AB Initio and Density Functional Calculations of Electronic G-Tensors for Organic Radicals

  • Chapter
Book cover EPR of Free Radicals in Solids

Part of the book series: Progress in Theoretical Chemistry and Physics ((PTCP,volume 10))

Abstract

Recent development and validation of quantum chemical methods for the calculation of electronic g-tensors is reviewed. The emphasis is on ah initio and density functional methods, whereas semi-empirical methods are covered only briefly. Methodological differences and the relative performance of various approaches are discussed critically, in particular regarding the treatment of spin-orbit coupling and of electron correlation. First applications to biologically relevant radicals are reviewed. Examples range from phenoxyl radicals via semiquinone radical anions to nitroxide spin labels.
