TL;DR: Magnetic Field Effects Prior to 1970 there were several reports of the effects of magnetic fields on chemical reactions, though there was much rebuttal and retraction in this early literature as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The quantum yield of triplets formed by ion-pair recombination in quinone-depleted photosynthetic reaction centers is found to depend on their orientation in a magnetic field, expected to be a general property of radical pair reactions in the solid state.

TL;DR: The authors showed that dipolar coupling in the primary radical ion pair of quinone-depleted photosynthetic reaction centers substanually affects the magnetic field dependence of the triplet quantum yield.

TL;DR: In this paper, the triplet population in reduced photosynthetic reaction centers was found to increase on application of large magnetic fields (1.5-14 KG) and the triplets were formed by charge recombination of spin-correlated radical ions with different g -factors.

TL;DR: In this article, a mechanistic model is proposed in which the reaction alternates between two stages, in stage I the dissolved oxygen concentration is appreciable and benzoyl radicals combine with oxygen, ultimately oxidizing Co(II) to Co(III).
