Identification of free radicals formed in gamma-irradiated acetazolamide using electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy.

For this purpose, by interpreting the spectra of the sample in the 0–100 mW microwave power region, it was determined that two different radicals were formed in the sample. The structures formed after irradiation were attributed to CH3OṄ-(radical I) and -OSOṄH (radical II) radicals. The g-values, hyperfine coupling constants and spectrum contribution ratios of these radicals contributing to the experimental spectrum were also calculated. It has been determined that radical II is quite stable both at high temperature and after a long storage period.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccessElectron resonanceElectron spin resonance spectroscopyIrradiationArticle548737750WOS:0010028715000012-s2.0-8516131943810.1007/s00723-023-01551-wQ3N/A
