A computer program written in BASIC is presented for the simulation of isotropic esr spectra using a microprocessor. Since BASIC is the most common microprocessor language, this program can easily be adapted to most microprocessors. Through the use of more efficient methods the capabilities of much larger FORTRAN programs, run on mainframe computers, are retained in the more restricted environment of the microprocessor. As a result, most spin trapping results can be dealt with easily. A number of sample simulations illustrate the program’s features.

It is shown that esolv, H•, and OH formed by the radiolysis of water by 3 MeV electrons are trapped by nitroso and nitrone compounds to give nitroxides with well defined esr spectra. Three spin trapping agents were used, nitroso-t-butane, phenyl-t-butyl nitrone, and 5,5′-dimethyl pyrroline-1-oxide. The latter was shown to be an excellent compound for these studies. Complications due to the instability of some of the nitroxides were overcome by coupling the electron accelerator to the esr spectrometer to permit direct observation of the spectra.

Azide radicals (N3·) are formed in aqueous solutions by the reaction of hydroxyl radicals (·OH) with azide anions (N3aq−). Azide radicals have been spin trapped with three nitroso spin traps: nitrosodurene (ND), 2,6-dideutero-3,5-dibromo-4-nitrosobenzene sulfonate (DDNBS), and 2-methyl-2-nitrosopropane (MNP). The electron spin resonance (esr) spectra show the presence of two molecules of the spin traps in the spin-trapped species.

Polycrystalline amino acids, when irradiated with 2537 Å light, afford a variety of electron spin resonance signals. These signals are generally stable at room temperature for relatively long periods of time. For a number of the spectra obtained, there is evidence that more than one radical species contributes to the observed spectra. The signals obtained frequently differ from those obtained on exposure to ionizing radiation. The postulated species formed can often be visualized as being formed by effective hydrogen abstraction from the alkyl-substituted tertiary carbon atom or from the —OH, —SH or —NH group contained in the side chain. For L-phenylalanine a secondary radical is obtained, which is ascribed to a cyclohexadienyl radical.
