Abstract
Magnetic susceptibility measurements are performed on DPPH-benzene complex and solvent-free DPPH in the temperature range 300-2.2 K and in a field range 6-20 kOe. The experimental values of the DPPH-benzene complex fit the Brillouin function for noninteracting paramagnetic centers (S = 1/2); at temperatures below 4 K; however, a systematic deviation is observed. The values in solvent-free DPPH obey the same law at temperatures above 150 K. Below this temperature a strong deviation occurs, and below 10 K the susceptibility even decreases with decreasing temperature. This deviation is attributed to electron spin pairing. In solvent-free DPPH less than 1 % of paramagnetic centra is left at 2.2 K.
