Abstract
This mini-review is dedicated to Carlo Corvaja (University of Padova) in recognition of his important contributions to the study of biomimetic donor–acceptor model dyads and triads and to the understanding of spin exchange in excited fullerene–nitroxide derivatives. We report on attractive examples of multi-frequency and multi-resonance EPR spectroscopy, highlighting recent work in Padova and Berlin/Mülheim. The examples selected include TR-EPR, ENDOR, and EDNMR experiments on photoexcited spin-labeled macromolecules, such as fullerene–nitroxide complexes or photosynthetic bacterial reaction centers, which were optionally NO spin-labeled. From the spin interaction parameters measured, detailed information about structure and dynamics of macromolecules embedded in liquid-solution or solid-state microenvironments could be extracted.
