INVESTIGATION OF CHARGE-TRANSFER COMPLEXES OF ORTHO- AND PARA- SEMIQUINONES

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 高场EPR是研究未取代的邻半醌与不同有机化合物（槲皮素、环糊精、白蛋白）形成电荷转移络合物的有效工具。电荷转移络合物的形成通过观察电荷转移带的光谱得到证实。 高场EPR谱揭示了第一次一个良好的解决g-张量与独特的指纹，每一种类型的复杂。随后的工作将使用高场EPR和量子化学来计算复合物的确切结构，以开发用于识别包含电荷转移复合物的各种生物分子的光谱库。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. High field EPR is a useful tool for investigating change transfer complex formation between unsubstituted o-semiquinones and different organic compounds (quercetin, cyclodextrin, albumin) The formation of charge transfer complexes was verified by observation of the optical spectrum of the charge transfer band. The high-field EPR spectra reveal for the first time a well-resolved g-tensor with a unique fingerprint for every type of complex. Subsequent work will use high-field EPR and quantum chemistry in order to calculate the exact structure of the complex in order to develop a spectral library for identifying various biological molecules containing charge transfer complexes.
