1. A method for determining whether charge and spin density are localized in a molecule of interest, which comprises:
- subjecting a solution comprising a molecule of interest to first and second cyclic voltammetric analyses thereby yielding first and second voltammograms, wherein one of said first and second cyclic voltammetric analyses is performed using a magnetically modifed electrode; and
comparing said first and second voltammograms.
