We present a simple analytical treatment of the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of spin-correlated radical pairs, including the zero-quantum coherence with which they are created. We concentrate on the time dependence of the spectrum of a prototype radical pair, with exchange and dipol

β¦ Synopsis
Multiple-quantum EPR coherence phenomena in a photo-induced spin-correlated radical pair system are examined. Because of the special singlet-triplet mixing mechanism, we have proposed a phase-cycled two-pulse sequence to excite and detect the single-quantum as well as the normally forbidden zero-and double-quantum transitions. Complementary to the method of electron spin echo modulation, this technique can also provide useful structural information about electron-electron exchange and dipolar interactions, in addition to the Zeeman and nuclear hyperfine interactions. Analytical expressions are derived for the multiple-quantum signals.

The spin-correlated radical pair [P+'Q~'] in protonated zinc replaced reaction centers of Rb. sphaeroides R26 is studied using electron spin echo spectroscopy. Applying a (flash-t-pulse 1-T-pulse 2-T) pulse sequence, it was found that the shape of the echo at T = ~-is influenced markedly by the dela
