title: First observation of the hyperfine structure of an excited quintet state in liquid solution.
abstract: After pulsed photoexcitation of a new fullerene-linked bisnitroxide, a well resolved transient EPR spectrum is detected which is assigned to an excited quintet spin state generated by spin coupling of the nitroxides and the fullerene excited triplet.
