Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) or electron spin resonance (ESR) has been widely employed to characterize transition metal complexes. However, because of the high degree of complexity of transition metal EPR spectra, how to extract the underlying electronic-structure information inevitably poses a major challenge to beginners, in particular for systems with . In fact, the physical principles of transition metal EPR have long been well-established and since 1970s a series of dedicated voluminous monographs have been published already. Not surprisingly, they are not appropriate stating points for novices to grasp a panorama of the profound theory prior to scrutinizing in-depth references. The present review aims to fill this gap to provide a perspective of transition metal EPR and unveil some peculiar subtleties thereof on the basis of our recent work.
电子顺磁共振（EPR）或电子自旋共振（ESR）已被广泛用于表征过渡金属配合物。然而，由于过渡金属EPR光谱的高度复杂性，如何提取潜在的电子结构信息不可避免地给初学者带来了重大挑战，特别是对于具有……的体系。事实上，过渡金属EPR的物理原理早已确立，自20世纪70年代以来已经出版了一系列专门的大部头专著。不出所料，它们不是新手在仔细研究深入参考文献之前全面掌握这一深奥理论的合适起点。本综述旨在填补这一空白，基于我们最近的工作提供一个过渡金属EPR的视角，并揭示其中一些独特的微妙之处。
