Abstract

•The ionizing radiation impact on the isonipecotic single crystal was identified.•The radical produced from the isonipecotic acid single crystal by gamma-irradiation was determined by EPR technique.•The hyperfine structure splittings of the ring type radical were arised from β-methylene protons.•The EPR spectra were to be dependent on the orientation of the single crystal in the magnetic field.

The electron spin resonance spectra of the radical produced by gamma-irradiation of a single crystal of isonipecotic acid (piperidine-4-carboxylic acid) were reported, and the structure of the radical was discussed. Isonipecotic acid single crystals were exposed to 60Co-gamma irradiation at room temperature. The irradiated single crystals were investigated by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) Spectroscopy between 115 K and 300 K. The spectra were found to be temperature independent. The g values of the radiation damage center observed in isonipecotic acid single crystal and the hyperfine structure constants of the free electron with nearby protons were obtained.
