Electron Paramagnetic Resonance

Dr Victor Chechik is a Reader at the Department of Chemistry, University of York. He has taught EPR spectroscopy to undergraduates the University of York for 9 years.

Dr Emma Carter is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Cardiff University. Dr Carter has authored 35 peer-reviewed papers, and contributes to the RSC Specialist Periodical Report [Electron Paramagnetic Resonance]. She has co-supervised several postgraduate students and teaches an introductory EPR course to final year undergraduate students.

Professor Damien Murphy is a Professor of Physical Chemistry and currently Director of Research in the School of Chemistry, at Cardiff University. He has supervised twenty PhD students, is module convenor for two advanced spectroscopy undergraduate courses, and has delivered EPR/ENDOR undergraduate lectures at Cardiff University for the last 15 years.

The renowned Oxford Chemistry Primer series, which provides focused introductions to a range of important topics in chemistry, has been refreshed and updated to suit the needs of today's students, lecturers, and postgraduate researchers. The rigorous, yet accessible, treatment of each subject area is ideal for those wanting a primer in a given topic to prepare them for more advanced study or research. The learning features provided, including questions at the end of every chapter and online multiple-choice questions, encourage active learning and promote understanding. Moreover, cutting-edge examples and applications throughout the texts show the relevance to current research and industry of the chemistry being described.

Electronic Paramagnetic Resonance provides a user-friendly introduction to this powerful tool for characterizing paramagnetic molecules. A versatile technique, EPR is becoming increasingly used across fields as diverse as biology, materials science, chemistry, and physics. This primer provides the perfect introduction to the subject by taking the reader through from basic principles to how spectra can be interpreted in practice, with frequent examples demonstrating the diverse ways in which the technique can be applied.
