Free Radic Res. 2015 Mar;49(3):236-43. doi: 10.3109/10715762.2014.995183. Epub 2015 Jan 23.

Abstract

Novel silylated triarylmethyl (TAM) radicals based on TAM core CT-03 and their electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra are evaluated as a function of oxygen concentration. Combination of peak-to-peak linewidth of the EPR signal and electrochemical determination allows designing a method for oxygen quantification in phosphate buffer, dimethylsulfoxide, and dichloromethane, which can be extended to other solvents.

Keywords: electrochemistry; electron paramagnetic resonance; oximetry; silylated trityls; ultramicroelectrode.
