Radiation damage produced in powder of methylamino isobutyric acid aminoisobutyric acid methyl ester hydrochloride and diethylmalonic acid

The electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of γ-irradiated powders of α-(methylamino)isobutyric acid – CH3NHC(CH3)2COOH, α -aminoisobutyric acid methyl ester hydrochloride – NH2(CH3)2CCOOCH3 HCl, and diethylmalonic acid – (CH3CH2)2C(COOH)2 have been investigated at room temperature. It has been found that γ -irradiation produces the (CH3)2C˙COOH radical in the first, the (CH3)2C˙COOCH3 radical in the second and the (CH3CH2)2C˙COOH radical in the third compound. The spectra were computer-simulated. The g values and the hyperfine coupling constants of the unpaired electron with the environmental methyl, methylene protons and OH proton were determined. The results were found to be in good agreement with the existing literature data and theoretical predictions.
