• 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

• interpreted in terms of transient non-Boltzmann magnetization and called chemically induced dynamic electron polarization (CIDEP) and chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (photo-CIDNP). The theoretical description by Kaptein and Oosterhoff [6] as well as by Closs [7] in 1969 established spin
