Abstract
Here, comparative electron spin–lattice relaxation studies of the 2Fe–2S iron–sulphur (Fe–S) cluster embedded in a large membrane protein complex – cytochrome bc1 – are reported.
Here, comparative electron spin–lattice relaxation studies of the 2Fe–2S iron–sulphur (Fe–S) cluster embedded in a large membrane protein complex – cytochrome bc1 – are reported. Structural modifications of the local environment alone (mutations S158A and Y160W removing specific H bonds between Fe–S and amino acid side chains) or in combination with changes in global protein conformation (mutations/inhibitors changing the position of the Fe–S binding domain within the protein complex) resulted in different redox potentials as well as g-, g-strain and the relaxation rates (T1–1) for the Fe–S cluster. The relaxation rates for T < 25 K were measured directly by inversion recovery, while for T > 60 K they were deduced from simulation of continuous wave EPR spectra of the cluster using a model that included anisotropy of Lorentzian broadening. In all cases, the relaxation rate involved contributions from direct, second-order Raman and Orbach processes, each dominating over different temperature ranges. The analysis of T1–1 (T) over the range 5–120 K yielded the values of the Orbach energy (EOrb), Debye temperature θD and Raman process efficiency CRam for each variant of the protein. As the Orbach energy was generally higher for mutants S158A and Y160W, compared to wild-type protein (WT), it is suggested that H bond removal influences the geometry leading to increased strength of antiferromagnetic coupling between two Fe ions of the cluster. While θD was similar for all variants (∼107 K), the efficiency of the Raman process generally depends on the spin–orbit coupling that is lower for S158A and Y160W mutants, when compared to the WT. However, in several cases CRam did not only correlate with spin–orbit coupling but was also influenced by other factors – possibly the modification of protein rigidity and therefore the vibrational modes around the Fe–S cluster that change upon the movement of the iron–sulphur head domain.

Abstract
EPR studies of Cu²⁺ and two free radicals formed by γ-radiation were performed for KHCO₃ single crystal at room temperature. From the rotational EPR results we concluded that Cu²⁺ is chelated by two carbonate molecules in a square planar configuration with spin-Hamiltonian parameters g(||)=2.2349 and A(||)=18.2 mT. Free radicals were identified as neutral HOCO· with unpaired electron localized on the carbon atom and a radical anion CO₃·⁻ with unpaired electron localized on two oxygen atoms. The hyperfine splitting of the EPR lines by an interaction with a single hydrogen atom of HOCO· was observed with isotropic coupling constants a₀=0.31 mT. Two differently oriented radical sites were identified in the crystal unit cell. Electron spin-lattice relaxation measured by electron spin echo methods shows that both Cu²⁺ and free radicals relax via two-phonon Raman processes with almost the same relaxation rate. The temperature dependence of the relaxation rate 1/T₁ is well described with the effective Debye temperature Θ(D)=175 K obtained from a fit to the Debye-type phonon spectrum. We calculated a more realistic Debye temperature value from available elastic constant values of the crystal as Θ(D)=246 K. This Θ(D)-value and the Debye phonon spectrum approximation give a much worse fit to the experimental results. Possible contributions from a local mode or an optical mode are considered and it is suggested that the real phonon spectrum should be used for the relaxation data interpretation. It is unusual that free radicals in KHCO₃ relax similarly to the well localized Cu²⁺ ions, which suggests a small destruction of the host crystal lattice by the ionizing irradiation allowing well coupling between radical and lattice dynamics.

Abstract
Electron spin-lattice relaxation was measured by the electron spin echo method in a broad temperature range above 4.2 K for Cu(2+) ions and free radicals produced by ionizing radiation in triglycine sulfate (TGS) and Tutton salt (NH4)(2)Zn(SO4)2 ⋅ 6H2O crystals. Localization of the paramagnetic centres in the crystal unit cells was determined from continuous wave electron paramagnetic resonance spectra. Various spin relaxation processes and mechanisms are outlined. Cu(2+) ions relax fast via two-phonon Raman processes in both crystals involving the whole phonon spectrum of the host lattice. This relaxation is slightly slower for TGS where Cu(2+) ions are in the interstitial position. The ordinary Raman processes do not contribute to the radical relaxation which relaxes via the local phonon mode. The local mode lies within the acoustic phonon band for radicals in TGS but within the optical phonon range in (NH4)(2)Zn(SO4)2 ⋅ 6H2O. In the latter the cross-relaxation was considered. A lack of phonons around the radical molecules suggested a local crystal amorphisation produced by x- or γ-rays.

Abstract
Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) investigations are carried out on mesoporous silica (SBA15) functionalized by Ni-cyclam complexes (1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane groups chelating nickel ions). The magnetic behaviour of nickel-cyclam groups, their mutual interactions and dispersions in the mesoporous silica are compared with respect to the doping rates and the synthesis procedures. The spin-spin interactions and the relaxation processes were clarified from the thermal evolution in the temperature range (4 K, 300 K) of the paramagnetic spin susceptibilities and EPR line widths. Thus, the relaxation mechanisms seem marked by the Jahn-Teller effect on the nickel ions mediated by exchange interactions between nearest spins. Isolated Ni-cyclam molecules are involved in some samples while others show the formation of clusters where phonon-assisted one-dimensional (1D) ferromagnetic ordering occurs below 45 K. The performed experiments point out the efficiency of the EPR technique to probe the degree of functionalization of mesoporous silica by Ni-cyclam molecules and to give valuable feedback to improve the synthesis routes.

Abstract
X-band and Q-band electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of Cu(2+) in BaF(2) crystal were recorded in the temperature range of 4.2-200 K. Spin-Hamiltonian parameters of single Cu(2+) complexes and of Cu(2+)-Cu(2+) pairs were derived and discussed. A special attention was paid to the dimeric species. Their molecular ground state configuration was found as having antiferromagnetic intradimer coupling with the singlet-triplet splitting J=-35 cm(-1). The zero-field splitting being D=0.0365 cm(-1) at 4.2 K increases with temperature as an effect of thermal population of excited dimer configurations. Electron spin echo (ESE) method was used for measurements of electron spin lattice and phase relaxation. The spin-lattice relaxation data show that except for coupling to the host lattice phonons the Cu(2+) ions are involved in local mode motions with energy of 82 cm(-1). Phase relaxation (ESE dephasing) of single Cu(2+) ions is due to spin diffusion at low temperatures. This relaxation is hampered for temperatures higher than 30 K due to the triplet state population of neighboring Cu(2+)-Cu(2+) dimers, which disturb dipolar coupling between Cu(2+) ions. For higher temperatures the relaxation is dominated by Raman T(1) processes. Fourier transform ESE spectrum displays dipolar Cu-F splitting which allowed determination of the off-center shift of Cu(2+) as delta(s)=0.132 nm. The dynamical effects observed in EPR spectra and in electron spin relaxation both for single Cu(2+) ions and Cu(2+)-Cu(2+) pairs are discussed as due to jumps between six off-center positions in the crystal unit cell and jumps between various dimer configurations.

Abstract
The electron spin-lattice relaxation of Cu(2+) has been studied by the electron spin echo technique in the temperature range 4.2-115 K in triglycine sulfate (TGS) family crystals. Assuming that the relaxation is due to Raman relaxation processes the Debye temperature Θ(D) was determined as 190 K for TGS, 168 K for triglycine selenate (TGSe) and 179 K for triglycine fluoroberyllate (TGFB). We also calculated the Θ(D) values from the sound velocities derived from available elastic constants. The elastic Debye temperatures were found as 348 K for TGS, 288 K for TGSe and 372 K for TGFB. The results shown good agreement with specific heat data for TGS. The elastic Θ(D) are considerably larger than those determined from the Raman spin-lattice relaxation. The possible reasons for this discrepancy are discussed. We propose to use a modified expression describing two-phonon Raman relaxation with a single variable only (Θ(D)) after elimination of the sound velocity. Moreover, we show that the relaxation data can be fitted using the elastic Debye temperature value as a constant with an additional relaxation process contributing at low temperatures. This mechanism can be related to a local mode of the Cu(2+) defect in the host lattice. Electron paramagnetic resonance g-factors and hyperfine splitting were analysed in terms of the molecular orbital theory and the d-orbital energies and covalency factors of the Cu(gly)(2) complexes were found. Using the structural data and calculated orbital energies the spin-phonon coupling matrix element of the second-order Raman process was calculated as 553 cm(-1) for TGS, 742 cm(-1) for TGSe and 569 cm(-1) for TGFB.

Abstract
The temperature dependence, between 10 and 120 K, of electron spin-lattice relaxation at X-band was analyzed for a series of eight pyrrolate-imine complexes and for ten other copper(II) complexes with varying ligands and geometry including copper-containing prion octarepeat domain and S100 type proteins. The geometry of the CuN4 coordination sphere for pyrrolate-imine complexes with R=H, methyl, n-butyl, diphenylmethyl, benzyl, 2-adamantyl, 1-adamantyl, and tert-butyl has been shown to range from planar to pseudo-tetrahedral. The fit to the recovery curves was better for a distribution of values of T1 than for a single time constant. Distributions of relaxation times may be characteristic of Cu(II) in glassy solution. Long-pulse saturation recovery and inversion recovery measurements were performed. The temperature dependence of spin-lattice relaxation rates was analyzed in terms of contributions from the direct process, the Raman process, and local modes. It was necessary to include more than one process to fit the experimental data. There was a small contribution from the direct process at low temperature. The Raman process was the dominant contribution to relaxation between about 20 and 60 K. Debye temperatures were between 80 and 120 K. For samples with similar Debye temperatures the coefficient of the Raman process tended to increase as gz increased, as expected if modulation of spin-orbit coupling is a major factor in relaxation rates. Above about 60 K local modes with energies in the range of 260-360 K (180-250 cm-1) dominated the relaxation. For molecules with similar geometry, relaxation rates were faster for more flexible molecules than for more rigid ones. Relaxation rates for the copper protein samples were similar to rates for small molecules with comparable coordination spheres. At each temperature studied the range of relaxation rates was less than an order of magnitude. The spread was smaller between 20 and 60 K where the Raman process dominates, than at higher temperatures where local modes dominate the relaxation. Spin echo dephasing time constants, Tm, were calculated from two-pulse spin echo decays. Near 10 K Tm was dominated by proton spins in the surroundings. As temperature was increased motion and spin-lattice relaxation made increasing contributions to Tm. Near 100 K spin-lattice relaxation dominated Tm.

Abstract
Single crystal EPR studies on Cu(II) doped paramagnetic host lattices, hexaimidazole M(II) dichloride tetrahydrate (M=Co and Ni), isomorphous with M=Zn, have been carried out from room temperature to 77K to understand the nature of Jahn-Teller (JT) distortion in these paramagnetic host systems. The paramagnetic impurity, doped in the present two paramagnetic host lattices, shows anisotropic EPR spectra with superhyperfine from ligands, even at room temperature. An interesting observation noticed in the EPR spectra at room temperature is that there are more resonances corresponding to the second site in the paramagnetic hosts than in the diamagnetic host at 4.2K. This difference in behavior between the diamagnetic and paramagnetic host lattices indicates a change in the depth of the JT valleys. The spin Hamiltonian parameters are evaluated for Cu(II) ion in both the host lattices and the relaxation times have been calculated for the ion in cobalt host lattice only.

Abstract
With the view of understanding the low frequency (40-50 cm(-1)) motional processes in L-alanine around 4 K, we have carried out heat capacity (CP) and electron spin echo (ESE) measurements on L-alanine and L-alanine-d7. The obtained CP data show the so-called boson peak (seen as a maximum in CP/T3 versus T plots) in the low temperature region (1.8-20 K). The phase memory time, T(M), and spin lattice relaxation time, T1, of the spin probe, the so-called first stable alanine radical (SAR1), *CHCH3COOH, have been measured between 4 and 105 K. The obtained relaxation rate 1/T1 shows an anomalous increase which coincides with the emergence of a boson peak in the low temperature region (4-20 K). Together, the ESE and the CP data confirm the existence of a thermally activated dynamic orientational disorder in the lattices of both compounds below 20 K. The results help explain the discrepancy between the CP data from powders and single crystals of alanine, as well as the proanomalous relaxation mechanisms for SAR1 in these lattices, and they also provide a mechanism for the spin-lattice relaxation process for SAR1 at cryogenic temperatures.
