and to provide information about Spin Chemistry.
Broadly defined, Spin Chemistry deals with the effects of electron and nuclear spins in particular, and magnetic interactions in general, on the rates and yields of chemical reactions. It is manifested as spin polarization in EPR and NMR spectra and the magnetic field dependence of chemical processes. Applications include studies of the mechanisms and kinetics of free radical and biradical reactions in solution, the energetics of photosynthetic electron transfer reactions, and various magnetokinetic effects, including possible biological effects of extremely low frequency and radiofrequency electromagnetic fields, the mechanisms by which animals can sense the Earth’s magnetic field for orientation and navigation, and the possibility of manipulating radical lifetimes so as to control the outcome of their reactions.

It is with great sadness that the International Spin Chemistry Committee learnt of the death on 2 December 2018 of Professor Y. John I’Haya at the age of 90. John was the Founder Chairman of the ISCC and the Organiser of the inaugural Spin Chemistry Meeting held in Tomakomai, Japan in 1991. Our thoughts are with his family, colleagues and friends.
The next Spin Chemistry Meeting will be held in St Petersburg, 18-23 August 2019.
