EPR as a probe for the mechanisms of chirality-induced spin selectivity in photoinduced charge transfer
Abstract
Several models for chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) in charge transfer have been proposed, but rarely compared directly with experiments. This step is essential for their validation and future progress of the field. Here we investigate a broad class of radical pair states associated with different microscopic models by computing the related electron-paramagnetic resonance spectra. This allows us to evidence peculiar signatures of different radical pair states, to study their experimental accessibility and identify conditions to verify proposed microscopic models.
