Within the last few years, laser magnetic resonance (LMR) has emerged as a powerful technique for the study of pure rotational spectra of transient species in the gas phase. The sensitivity of this method is considerably higher than that of competing techniques, such as conventional optical and microwave spectroscopy and gas-phase EPR, while the resolution attainable is comparable with that of the latter two methods. Its domain of applicability presently includes atoms, ground states of molecules with up to 5 atoms, and most recently, metastable molecular electronic states in the millisecond lifetime range, and molecular ions. The only rigorous constraint on this applicability is that the species of interest must be paramagnetic.
