Roth, Heinz D.

Research Summary Heinz D. Roth and his group are interested in organic reaction mechanisms and elucidate structure and reactivity of short-lived free radicals or radical ions in solution or solid matrices. The structures are characterized by optical methods (including diffuse reflectance, DR), magnetic resonance techniques (electron spin resonance, EPR, or chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization, CIDNP) and molecular orbital calculations. Thermal or photochemical rearrangements of...
