Abstract Our work proves that positron annihilation spectroscopy is an excellent tool to follow the structural changes in chemical species. We present four examples to support the above statement. The sizes of defects in electrodeposited chromium layers were studied and estimated on the basis of positron lifetime spectra decomposed into two components. Vacancies, di-vacancies and vacancy-clusters could be identified in the electrodeposites. The changes of the size distribution of the free volume units in poly(methylmetacrylate) on the dependence of molecular weight and dispersity were described by the correlation between the lifetime ofortho-Ps and the free volume units in polymers. It was found that the free volume is affected by both the molecular weight and dispersity. The effect of dispersity was explained by the sample preparation technique, namely by the application of high pressure. The ortho-para conversion ofortho-Ps was used to follow the partial spin-crossover in [Fe(1-ethyl-1H-tetrazole)6](BF4)2. The spin-crossover temperature was identified to be 105 K. A conformal structural transformation was found in [Zn(1-propyl-1H-tetrazole)6](BF4)2 between 170 and 90 K by positronium lifetime measurement and the role of (BF4)2− anion, in this transformation, was proved by19F NMR spectroscopy.
