Abstract

Q-band and X-band pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopic methods (EPR) in the solid state were employed to refine the parameters characterizing the anisotropic interactions present in six nitroxide radicals prepared by N, N addition of NO to various borane-phosphane frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs). The EPR spectra are characterized by the g-anisotropy as well as by nuclear hyperfine coupling between the unpaired electron and the B-11/B-10, N-14 and P-31 nuclear magnetic moments. It was previously shown that continuous-wave spectra measured at X-band frequency (9.5 GHz) are dominated by the magnetic hyperfine coupling to N-14 and P-31, whereas the g-tensor values and the B-11 hyperfine coupling parameters cannot be refined with high precision from lineshape fitting. On the other hand, the X-band electron spin echo envelope modulation (ESEEM) and hyperfine sublevel correlation (HYSCORE) spectra are completely dominated by the nuclear hyperfine coupling to the B-11 nuclei, allowing a selective determination of their interaction parameters. In the present work this analysis has been further validated by temperature dependent ESEEM measurements. In addition, pulsed EPR data measured in the Q-band (34 GHz) are reported, which present an entirely different situation: the g-tensor components can be measured with much higher precision, and the ESEEM and HYSCORE spectra contain information about all of the B-10, B-11, N-14 and P-31 hyperfine interaction parameters. Based on these new results, we report here high-accuracy and precision data of the EPR spin Hamiltonian parameters measured on six FLP-NO radical species embedded in their corresponding hydroxylamine host structures. While the ESEEM spectra at Q-band frequency turn out to be very complex (due to the multinuclear contribution to the overall signal) in the HYSCORE experiment the extension over two dimensions renders a better discrimination between the different nuclear species, and the signals arising from hyperfine coupling to B-10, B-11, N-14 and P-31 nuclei can be individually analyzed.
