• fields has been very limited. In this review, we compile the two “languages” in an effort to enhance communication. We expect that knowledge of spin chemistry will accelerate progress in spintronics. Keywords: CIDEP; magnetic field effects; photo-CIDNP; radical pairs; triplet states; Review

• chemical reactions and from singlet–triplet interconversion in radical pairs, which is sensitive to external magnetic fields and local hyperfine fields of magnetic nuclei. Although experiments have been done in gas phase (see Sections IV.A and V.A of [2] and the references therein) and in solid state (e.g

• bond breaks also cause radical pairs. With the introduction of the concept of the “spin-correlated radical pair” (SCRP) [17][18][19][20], spin chemistry appeared to be a “completed field”, in the notation of Heisenberg’s closed theory (abgeschlossene Theorie in German). The techniques of spin chemistry
