The compound Pb3P2O8 has a low temperature monoclinic phase with space group C2/c and a high temperature phase with space group [Formula: see text], both with two crystallographically inequivalent cationic sites. X-ray data taken at five temperatures have indicated that an F-centered monoclinic cell is developed prior to its transition to the rhombohedral phase. The EPR spectra at room temperature show that Mn2+ substitutes only at the cationic site on the twofold axis. A phase transition occurs at 185 °C and approaching this temperature from below the magnetic axes in the ac plane rotate continuously, by about 40°. At 185 °C the Z axis coincides with the c axis of the hexagonal cell (a* axis of the monoclinic cell). The crystal field splitting parameter b20 increases from −423 G to −222 G while b22 goes from 280 G to zero. A model based on the theory of Blume and Orbach for the zero-field splitting and with point charges as the source of the electric field is used to relate the EPR parameters to the atomic displacements.

Abstract The cubic (high temperature) phase of some langbeinites, A+2 B22+(SO4)3 with 11 different combinations of A and B type cations, doped with Mn2+, is investigated by EPR. Powder or single crystal spectra are measured at X-band. They indicate centers of axial symmetry in all cases. In 6 of the langbeinites two centers are found which differ considerably in intensity. Both centers are substitutional defects (Mn in the crystallographically nonequivalent divalent B ion sites). For the more intense one the zero field splitting parameter is proved to be negative in all cases. That center is assigned to the more spacious site which, depending on the cation size, allows for local relaxation. It is shown by comparison with predictions of the superposition model that relaxation appears to be effective

A new broadband EPR spectrometer capable of measuring in frequency- and field-sweep modes is described and its functionality is demonstrated on a ferromagnetic Cu3II triangle demonstrating a moderate zero-field splitting of its quartet ground state.

AbstractThree different Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) signals, one trigonal and two orthorhombic, which originates from iron-indium pairs in silicon are investigated. It is shown that the two orthorhombic spectra can be explained as transitions within the two doublets of a S=3/2 system with a large zero-field splitting. The temperature dependence of-the intensities reveals that the newly discovered spectrum corresponds to the lower doublet and that the zero-field splitting is 9.8 ± 2.0 cm-1.

The X-ray crystal structure analysis of bis(1,3-dimethylcyclopentadienyl)titanium(III) chloride revealed that it is a centrosymmetric chlorine-bridged dimer [(η5-C5H3Me2)2Ti(μ-Cl)]2 (1) with the Ti-Ti distance of 3.9155(8) Å. Its skeleton is virtually identical with those of the [(η5-C5H5)2Ti(μ-Cl)]2 and [(η5-C5H4Me)2Ti(μ-Cl)]2 dimers. The solution EPR study proved that 1 remains a dimer in toluene whereas it dissociates in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (MTHF) to give (η5-C5H3Me2)2TiCl . MTHF. The EPR spectra of frozen toluene solutions proved that 1 forms the triplet state whose g-tensor and zero-field splitting D are virtually the same as those of [(η5-C5H5)2Ti(μ-Cl)]2.

The crystal structure of the sublimated form (m.p. = 424 K) of tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-l-yl)methane has been solved by a Patterson search method from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data. Crystal data: trigonal symmetry with the unit-cell parameters a = 16.152 (1) and c = 5.353 (1) Å, space group P3, C16H22N6, Z = 3, 293 K. After indexing the powder pattern by two methods, the unit-cell parameters found were refined by a least-squares technique. A whole pattern-fitting program was used to extract the integrated intensities. The structure was solved taking a related compound as a search model and the final Rietveld refinement converged to R wp = 0.077 and R p = 0.059. This study is one of the first examples of Patterson search structure determination from an hemihedral space group using powder data. The complexity of the structural determination is increased by the presence of three molecules in the asymmetric unit.
