β¦ Synopsis
The mechanism of oxygen response in several newly synthesized oxygen-sensitive chars was studied with the use of EPR spectroscopy. The results suggest that the compounds contain two basic types of paramagnetic centers (PC). The change in oxygen concentration leads to a mutual and reversible transformation of PCs in chars, which is reflected in EPR parameters. The adsorbed molecular oxygen progressively disturbs the wave functions of the PCs and so breaks the Heisenberg exchange between them. At high oxygen concentration, the 2D dipole-dipole interaction between PCs at the surface comes into play and determines the EPR lineshape. A suggested model quantitatively describes the evolution of the basic EPR parameters of each PC as a function of oxygen concentration.
