Effect of a weak magnetic field on the reaction between neutral free radicals in isotropic solution.
Radical recombination following the photodissociation of 2-hydroxy-4'-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-2-methylpropiophenone in isotropic solution was monitored using time-resolved infrared spectroscopy. The rate of radical recombination was determined to decrease in the presence of a magnetic field of greater than 5 mT and to increase in the presence of a magnetic field smaller than 5 mT.
