N2 - The effects of magnetic fields on triplet formation have been examined in covalent benzo[a]pyrene diol epoxide-N2-2′-deoxyguanosine (BPDE-dG) adducts, and noncovalently interacting tetraol (BPT)/dG hydrolysis products in aqueous and N,N′-dimethylformamide (DMF) solutions. A magnetic field effect (≤ 8%) of opposite sign and saturated at 10 mT on the yield of 3BPT triplets and radical anions BPT-{radical dot} is observed in the BPT/dG system in DMF and is attributed to a hyperfine coupling mechanism. Neither formation of BPT-{radical dot} nor magnetic field effects on 3BPT yields are observed in either the covalent or noncovalent interacting systems in water.
