A Nitrogen-14 Triplet and Nitrogen-15 Doublet as a Standard for Electron Spin Resonance Hyperfine Splitting Determinations

Abstract

THE results given here follow on from an earlier communication in which it was reported that treatment of certain methacrylate polymers with nitric oxide gas induced an electron spin resonance signal1. It was later found that pure polymethyl methacrylate powder did not give a signal on treatment, and Law and Ebert2 have suggested that the observed signal was due to traces of monomer in the polymer sample.
