Abstract:
Radical recombination following the photodissociation of 2-hydroxy-4'-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-2-methylpropiophenone in isotropic solution was monitored using time-resolved infrared spectroscopy. The rate of radical recombination was determined to decrease in the presence of a magnetic field of greater than 5 mT and to increase in the presence of a magnetic field smaller than 5 mT.

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
