Spin-state labeling

Then there are two spin states, labelled by eigenvalue opJz = M = 1/2. 

Other useful techniques include mass spectroscopy [31], spin-state labeling [33], nuclear magnetic resonance [32,34,35], X-ray fluorescence [36], neutron activation [37], and electron spin resonance [38,39], among others. The interested reader is referred to an excellent review by Tolman and Faller [40],... 

In the second case, the 180° pulse is applied only to nucleus A, causing an exchange of spin labels of the A spin states to occur, so the direction of rotation of the X magnetization vectors is reversed during the second...

This reaction profile also illustrates one of the other important challenges in the study of transition metal systems, namely that the metal-containing active site often has several accessible spin states. Specifically in the case of Fe(IV)=0, the triplet, quintet, and septet spin states. Consequently, the reaction can, in principle, proceed on different electronic potential energy surfaces and it is necessary to test all possibilities when exploring a reaction surface. This has been labeled two-state reactivity and has been elaborated by Shaik, Schwarz, Schroder, and co-workers (36—40). In the case of TauD, the results show that the reaction is only feasible on the quintet surface, in agreement with earlier DFT studies (11,41 —45). 

The description of spin states as electronic isomers with different metal-ligand distances requires that their vibrational spectra be a superposition of the spectra of the two separate spin states. The relative contribution of the two states to the observed spectrum will change with temperature as the population of the spin states changes. This has been observed (76, 77, 122, 144, 145). Difficulties occur with the assignment of the metal-ligand vibrational frequencies of particular interest for the analysis of the dynamics of spin state transitions. Some success has been achieved with the use of metal isotopic labeling (82, 151), but there are few reliable assignments.
