The effects of fluctuating magnetic fields on the yields of chemical reactions are explored within the radical pair mechanism, for the case in which singlet and triplet radical pairs disappear at equal rates. Approximate analytical expressions and exact numerical calculations are used to discuss the

✦ Synopsis
A pronounced solvent viscosity and polarity dependence of the magnetic field effect was found for polymethylene-linked radical ion pairs generated by photoinduced intramolecular electron transfer in compounds of the type pyrene-(CH*),-N,N-dimethylaniline, with n = 7-16. This is interpreted in terms of the general radical pair mechanism, i.e. the nuclear hypefine interaction mechanism including a spin-exchange interaction, modulated by the stochastic folding motion of the linking CH2 chain which leads to a "motional deformation" of the reaction yield spectra.
