Recent Progresses in CIDEP Studies in China

Chemically induced dynamic electron polarization (CIDEP) is a powerful tool to determine and characterize intermediate paramagnetic species. It plays especially important roles in studying the mechanisms of transient photochemical and photophysical processes. In this review, four basic theories for CIDEP were introduced, and the polarized conditions required to obtain different experimental CIDEP spectra were discussed. Recent progresses in CIDEP studies of photochemical process in the homogeneous solvents and micro-heterogeneous phase systems were also presented.
