Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (Jenschke)
Gunnar Jeschke · ETH Zürich
Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy is a very important technique for understanding radical reactions, electron transfer processes, and transition metal catalysis, which are all related to the ’reactivity of the unpaired electron’. These notes introduce the basics for applying EPR spectroscopy on reactive or catalytically active species as well as on spin probes.

The Schlenk Line Survival Guide
Andryj Borys · Universität Bern
The text is a practical resource designed to help chemists working with air-sensitive compounds. It provides step-by-step guides on using a Schlenk line, a common lab apparatus for handling compounds under an inert atmosphere like nitrogen or argon. The guide covers essential techniques, including how to properly set up and operate the Schlenk line, perform Schlenk transfers, and filter solutions under an inert atmosphere. It also emphasizes safety procedures and troubleshooting common issues.

Spiral Mechanics (Calculus-Based)
Paul D'Alessandris · Monroe Community College
Spiral Physics is a research based introductory physics curriculum that integrates text and workbook activities in a modular fashion, and arranges topics so that students receive repeated exposure to concepts with increased complexity. It makes use of alternative problem types, including goal-less problem statements, ranking tasks, and critical analysis tasks. It restricts the equation set available for student use and is designed to facilitate active learning.
