Measurement of spin-lattice relaxation times in EPR with enhanced orientation selectivity.
Two schemes for the measurement of orientation-dependent spin-lattice relaxation times are introduced, which combine the inversion-recovery experiment with electron-Zeeman-resolved or right-angle wiggling EPR. The principles of the experiments are outlined and their performance is illustrated by examples of application. With the electron Zeeman-resolved approach the relaxation times of two metal complexes with different g values are unraveled, whereas with right-angle wiggling the orientation-dependent relaxation behavior of a metal complex with large hyperfine anisotropy is analyzed.
