Without explaining even the meaning of “SQUID” and the theory behind , I make three points:
[I]This ligand is typical in the sense that the unpaired electron is not delocalized over whole of the radical ; rather is LOCALIZED In its π^* MO ,i.e. behaves like a “free electron” to give only one peak( g ≈ 2 ).
.[II] Even if any paramagnetic species obeys all the rules which are required of its ESR peak/s to be observed, yet if its minimum detectable sensitivity is not 1010 spins/G for X-band ESR and 1013 spins/G in “SQUID”, it will not show any ESR ,i.e. no peak/s are expected to be observed .
[III] This ligand does possess 1010 spins/G ( comparatively smaller number) in X-band but it can not attain as high value as that of 1013 spins/G in “SQUD” because it is not exposed ( spread ) over whole of the ligand; rather it is localized in π^* MO.
In fact, with all the merits of “SQUID” over X- band ESR, this is one of the limitation of “SQUID”. But it happens in the rarest of the rare cases and this ligand falls in this category. It will not be out of context to mention here that it is also typical for its one more property ---- its peak shows anisotropy
{A} It is to bring to your kind observation that I have based my answer to this questions on the three points- why only one peak in this ligand, 1010 spins/G in X-band and 1013 spins/G in “SQUD”. I , humbly, reiterate that all three facts can be well located if one surveys the literature on ESR in general and this ligand in particular .
{B} Even in my answer to your previous question, I have cited a well established relation.
{C} Yes; I do not deny your prerogative of agreeing/ disagreeing with my arguments.
