Abstract Pomegranate fruit (Punica granatum L.) is a source of numerous phenolic compounds, and it contains flavonoids such as anthocyanins, anthocyanidins, cyanidins, catechins and other complexes of flavonoids, ellagitannins, and hydrolyzed tannins. Pomegranate juice shows antioxidant, antiproliferative, and anti-atherosclerotic properties. The antioxidant capacity (TEAC) of the pomegranate juices was measured using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH•) as a source of free radicals, and the total phenolic (TP) content was measured using UV-Vis spectroscopy. All the examined pomegranate juices exhibited relatively high antioxidant properties. The TEAC values determined by means of EPR spectroscopy using Trolox (TE) as a free radical scavenger were in the range of 463.12 to 1911.91 μmol TE/100 mL juice. The TP content measured by the Folin-Ciocalteu method, using gallic acid (GA) as a free radical scavenger, widely varied in the investigated pomegranate juice samples and ranged from 1673.62 to 5263.87 mg GA/1 L juice. The strongest antioxidant properties were observed with the fresh pomegranate juices obtained from the fruits originating from Israel, Lebanon, and Azerbaijan. Correlation analysis of numerical data obtained by means of EPR spectroscopy (TEAC) and UV-Vis spectroscopy (TP) gave correlation coefficient (r) = 0.90 and determination coefficient (r2) = 0.81 (P <0.05).

The defect structure of ZnO nanoparticles is characterized by means of high-field electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Different point and complex defects could be identified, located at the "bulk" or the surface region of the nanoparticles. In particular, by exploiting the enhanced g-value resolution at a Larmor frequency of 406.4 GHz, it could be shown that the resonance commonly observed at g = 1.96 is comprised of several overlapping resonances from different defects. Based on the high-field EPR analysis, the development of a space-charge layer could be monitored that consists of (shallow) donor-type [Formula: see text] defects at the "bulk" and acceptor-type [Formula: see text] and complex [Formula: see text] defects at the surface. Application of a core-shell model allows to determine the thickness of the depletion layer to 1.0 nm for the here studied compounds [J.J. Schneider et al., Chem. Mater.22, 2203 (2010)].

This article describes the formation of the chemical electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy institute established by Academician Vladislav V. Voevodsky (1917–1967) along with the history of the development of the instrumentation basis for this field of science in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). The design of the first EPR spectrometers for the chemical radio spectroscopy initiated the emergence of a new scientific instrumentation field in this country. Based on recollections shared by scientists and engineers and an examination of archive materials, the author reconstructs relevant events and identifies major participants in this process.
