Solute Size-dependent Rotational Diffusion of Nitroxide Radicals in Ionic Liquids as Studied by EPR Spectroscopy
Rotational correlation time of five nitroxide radicals with various molecular volume and shape was determined in ionic liquids by EPR spectroscopy. Gierer-Wirtz theory for rotational diffusion well explains the experimental results obtained in a wide range of solute volume.
