Abstract
Stable nitroxyl radicals are important tools in chemistry, biophysics, biology, and materials science. Their stability and the sensitivity of their EPR spectra to the local environment make them valuable molecular probes. This review seeks to give an overview of the developments in the field of nitroxide spin probes and their various applications, with the main focus on the pH-sensitive imidazoline nitroxide family.
