The electron spin resonance of an X-ray-irradiated single crystal of dl-alanine hydrochloride indicates that the radical formed is probably the same as that produced by X- and γ-ray irradiation of alanine. The components of the hyperfine interaction tensor for the radical have been evaluated.

The electron spin resonance of an X-ray irradiated single crystal of diketopiperazine has been measured at 9 Gc/sec for various orientations of the crystal in the static magnetic field. From an analysis of the hyperfine structure observed we have been able to calculate the components of the hyperfine interaction tensor for the radical produced by the irradiation. The principal values for the hyperfine interaction tensor are similar to those found for the radical produced by the X-ray or γ-ray irradiation of glycylglycine and N-acetylglycine and is therefore attributed to a radical with a C—H fragment. The fine details of the spectrum indicate that the radical responsible for the electron resonance observed probably has the structure [Formula: see text]which is formed from diketopiperazine by the loss of a hydrogen atom from one of the CH2 groups in that molecule.

Nitrogen and proton coupling tensors have been measured for the [Formula: see text] radical trapped in five different single crystal matrices. As all isotropic coupling constants are the same within experimental error (aN = 21.2 G, aH = 28.4 G), no measurable crystal field effect is found. In these solids the motions of the radical depend on the dimension of the trapping cage and the motions of the surrounding molecules.

Electron spin resonance (e.s.r.) studies on single crystals of normal and deuterated D-tartaric acid have been carried out as part of a larger investigation of radical production and migration in biologically related single crystals. The D-tartaric acid system is especially interesting since the second and third carbon atoms of the molecule, which are chemically identical in solution, become conformationally non-equivalent in the unit cell. The effects of this conformational difference on the e.s.r. spectra are discussed. The radicals identified in this study are consistent with the work of others on similar systems.
