On the magnetism of liquid nitrogen-liquid oxygen mixture

Abstract

The measurements of EPR line width in liquid nitrogen-liquid oxygen mixtures are presented. The observed anomalous dependence of line width on oxygen concentration can be understood if the existence of O2-O2-O2 and N2-O2-O2 molecular clusters is assumed. The provided quantum chemical calculations give the spatial structure as well as the bond energy for these clusters. © 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
