Abstract
The separation of carbon isotopes 12C and 13C induced by magnetic electron–nuclear interaction in radical pairs is increased by selective microwave pumping at the frequency of EPR transitions in 13C-containing radicals; the pumping accelerates the triplet–singlet conversion of 13C radical pairs and therefore increases the nuclear spin selectivity of chemical reactions; this new effect has been called the radio induced magnetic isotope effect (RIMIE).
