Characterisation of Green-Tea Radical Scavengers by ALC-MuSR and High-Level C...
We propose to characterise selected radical structures of the green-tea anti-oxidant flavenoid EGCG (& selected analogues), by DFT/post-HF computation and ALC-MuSR, towards... -
End-Game: Cornering Solvent Effects on H-Addition in Green Tea Anti-Oxidants
Our ongoing project to characterise radical scavenging by the green tea anti-oxidant EGCG and its D-ring analogue, (3,4,5-(OH)3-Bz) is near-complete. ALC-MuSR experiments on the... -
The effect of metal nanoparticles on the electronic structure of bound free r...
In recent years, the noble metals nanoparticles (MNPs) have been the subject of intense interest in areas of materials science, biotechnology, medicine and organic chemistry for... -
Repolarization of Radicals in Liquids (RB920344)
The recovery of the muon polarization in a longitudinal magnetic field has been used to obtain the muon hfcs of organic radicals. In pure benzene there is a single step in the... -
muSR in the presence of significant spin-orbit coupling
The great majority of known muonium defect centres and muonium substituted organic radicals have essentially spin-only magnetism, with few exhibiting any noticeable departure... -
RF μSR in the gas phase: understanding a ¿null¿ result
We have made a significant effort to develop Radio Frequency μSR (RF μSR) as a technique for spectroscopy of organic radicals in the gas phase. Realising this method... -
Identification and dynamics of muon states in octabutoxy-phthalocyanine
The current experiment proposes to identify and study the spin dynamics of the muon states formed in octabutoxy-phthalocyanine (oBu-H2Pc) using the avoided level crossing... -
High Field Studies of BEDT-TTF and kappa-(BEDT-TTF)2X
The kappa structural phase of BEDT-TTF salts incorporating various anions X provides an extremely interesting series of layered-structure strongly-correlated materials, whose... -
Novel Mechanisms of Green Tea Anti-Oxidants by Mu-SR, INS and DFT Experiments
A proposal is made to continue ongoing ALC-muSR experiments on the green-tea anti-oxidant EGCG and its analogue. Several overlapping resonances observed on HiFi made it... -
Spin relaxation of short-lived spin-labelled radicals in solution
The spin relaxation rates of free radicals in solution can provide valuable information about the dynamics of molecular tumbling in solution, and solvent-radical interactions.... -
Organometallic Radicals
A 19-electron organometallic radical was produced by the reaction of muonium with ferrocene and characterized by avoided level crossing muon spin resonance (ALC-muSR) and...
