kepr_plot

Visualize KEPR (kinetic electron paramagnetic resonance) data with PGFPlots & TikZ.

Compilation

Compile the document main.tex with XeLaTeX using MikTeX. When displaying scatter data it may be necessary to expand the main memory size with the additional compiler argument --extra-mem-top=100000000.

Experimental Data

This work contains example KEPR data acquired during a practical in the directory data. The files also include the corresponding fits and residuals. For complementary stationary EPR spectra check out the repository esr_plot.

• esr_daten-6_kepr.txt: tert-Butylperoxyl radical generated through UV-irradiation of 10uL 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-3-pentanone (5.79M) in 90uL tert-butylbenzene.
• esr_daten-7_kepr.txt: Stannyloxy nitroxide generated through two reaction pathways:
  • Pathway 1: 7uL 0.921M 2-methyl-2-nitropropane solution (12.9mM) and 63uL bis(tributyltin) (0.249M) in 430uL tert-butylbenzene.
  • Pathway 2: 7uL 0.921M 2-methyl-2-nitropropane (12.9mM), 33uL tributyltinhydride (0.247M) and 10 uL di-tert-butylperoxide (0.109M) in 450uL tert-butylbenzene.
