Interplay of molecular and spin dynamics in formation and decay kinetics of linked and micellized radical pairs: Effects of organizing factors and magnetic field

Abstract

Remarkable magnetic field effects in the behavior of triplet radical pairs covalently linked by flexible chain or environmentally confined within some microreactors are an attractive phenomena which is under the investigations by several experimental techniques in order to recover different mechanistic aspects many of them being incomprehensible. This review is focused on the solvent viscosity and chain length effects in the kinetics studies of the series of zinc porphyrin-chain-viologen and protonated as well as perdeuteriated benzophenone-chain-phenylphenol dyads. The difference and similarity of kinetics in linked and related micellized systems is under the discussion.
