1. It is shown that the electron-transfer inhibitor thenoyltrifluoroacetone abolishes a respiratory-chain electron-paramagnetic-resonance absorbance due to spin-spin interactions of ubisemiquinones at concentrations similar to those required for inhibition of succinate oxidation. 2. A specific site of interaction of thenoyltrifluoroacetone with the respiratory chain is proposed to be on the ubisemiquinone with which succinate dehydrogenase reacts. 3. Our results further demonstrate the close association of the HiPIP (high-potential iron-sulphur) centre of succinate dehydrogenase with ubisemiquinone.

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) linewidth in the Cd1-xMnxS bulk crystals with manganese concentrations x = 0.25, 0.33, 0.35 and 0.42 has been studied in the high-temperature region. An analysis of the infinite-temperature EPR linewidth performed within the exchange narrowing model shows that the contributions of the anisotropic superexchange and magnetic dipolar interaction to the linewidth are nearly the same due to weak anion spin-orbit coupling. The single-ion anisotropy originating from the crystal field of axial symmetry with the parameter Dsingle= 0.0295 cm-1, as observed in some CdS:Mn crystals, gives a contribution to the linewidth comparable with the influence of the anisotropic superexchange and magnetic dipolar interaction. The calculated infinite-temperature linewidths, including all anisotropic spin interactions examined in this work, are close to the experimental infinite-temperature linewidths estimated from the existing high-temperature data.

ABSTRACTThe interpretation of the continuous wave electron paramagnetic resonance (CW-EPR) spectra of Cu2+ exchanged in Faujasite zeolite is not straightforward. Recent literature points to the role of both Cu2+ zeolite sites and Cu2+ relationship to lattice Al in determining the parameters of Cu2+ spin Hamiltonian. Our work shows that at low concentration, Cu2+ EPR signals show negligible spin-spin interactions. At higher Cu (II) concentrations, a third CW-EPR spectrum that has contributions from both the CW-EPR and the spin-spin interactions, appears.
