Book Chapter Description

This review article summarizes the recent advances in the EPR studies of the molecular orientation and magnetic properties in the various rod-like liquid crystalline (LC) phases of the second-generation of organic nitroxide radical materials in the bulk state or in a surface-stabilized LC cell, compared with the conventional EPR studies using classical organic nitroxide spin probes. Noteworthy is the first observation and characterization of a sort of spin glass-like ferromagnetic interactions ( J>0) induced by weak magnetic fields in the various LC phases of the second-generation of organic nitroxide radical materials. This unique magnetic property has been referred to as positive "magneto-LC effects". The utility of such novel LC nitroxide radical materials as the EPR spin probes is also presented. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2013.
