Description

The oxidation of succinic acid was observed by ESR--ENDOR spectroscopy in single crystals x irradiated at 4.2 degreeK. Oxidation products result from loss of hydrogen from the saturated carbon atoms as well as from the carboxyl groups. Reduction is a more specific process; electrons are captured by carbonyl oxygen atoms. The competition for electrons between succinic acid and fumaric acid in doped crystals was examined at 4.2 degreeK
