Why Should Measurements Be Quantitative?

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Even if the question is simply “is there a radical present?” it is important to know, e.g., whether <1 or 100% of the species are in the radical form or in a particular metal oxidation state. There are many examples in the literature in which an impurity or a slight dissociation resulted in the EPR signal observed. A goal of this book is to provide guidance on issues that the EPR spectroscopist should consider when designing experiments to obtain quantitative results. The focus of this book is on radicals in condensed phases.
