What Does SPIN Stand For?

SPIN stands for Silica Phase Immobilized Nitroxide

SPIN, or Silica Phase Immobilized Nitroxide, refers to a specialized material that incorporates nitroxide radicals immobilized on a silica support. This innovative approach enhances the stability and reactivity of nitroxides, making them useful in various applications, including catalysis, polymerization, and as spin probes in electron spin resonance studies. The silica matrix not only provides a solid foundation for the nitroxide but also facilitates ease of handling and integration into different chemical processes.
