The room temperature structure of Cd2(NH4)2(SO4)3 (CAS), isotypic with the mineral langbeinite K2Mg2(SO4)3 has been refined by full-matrix least squares methods. The structure is cubic with a = 10.362(7) Å and space group P213. There are two inequivalent sites for the cation Cd2+ and e.p.r. spectra of doped Mn2+ show that Cd2+ was substituted in both sites with preferential occupancy by Mn2+ in a 1:3 ratio. Refinement of X-ray data on a mixed crystal of the stoichiometry Cd0.84Mn1.16(NH4)2(SO4)3 shows that site I contains 82% Mn2+ while site II has 38%. The zero-field splitting parameter D was calculated for Mn2+ in two sites using a point-charge model and confirms that Mn2+ substitutes into site I with greater preference. Although a monoclinic ferroelectric phase of CAS has been suggested below 90 K, no change in space group symmetry could be detected at 80 K. The proton second moment, calculated by the van Vleck's formula, and compared with the experimental values, suggests a tunneling motion of the protons among the four vertices of the ammonium tetrahedron.

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

ABSTRACTFor the first time the acceptor state of iron-boron pairs the occurence of which are suggested by electrical measurements and theoretical considerations is directly proved by EPR measurements. The corresponding EPR spectrum is observed upon suitable illumination of samples which have been co-doped with boron and iron. It shows trigonal symmetry, and the fine-structure pattern can be described with the spin S = l, the g-values gi ∼ 2.1345±0.0001, gi = 2.1345±0.0004 and the zero-field splitting parameter |D| = (1.418±0.001) cm−1.

Abstract Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) studies of Cr 3+ in single crystals of tris(guanidinium) hexafluoroaluminate, [C(NH2)3]3 AlF6 , have been carried out in the X-band region. A temperature dependent study of the zero-field splitting parameter D in the range 77-398 K shows the presence of a phase transition, which is supported by Differential Thermal Analysis. In addition, 19F superhyperfine struc-ture has been observed in the 9.3% naturally abundant 53Cr isotope hyperfine structure. D shows a large decrease with increasing temperature. The phase transition brings about a chemical inequivalence in the two chemically equivalent but magnetically inequivalent room temperature (CrF6)3- species. Compar-ison is made with the alums AlCl3 • 6H20, as well as other guanidinium aluminum salts.

Abstract In platelets of Cs2Zn3S4 with about 4% of the Zn substituted by Mn two nonequivalent centers of isolated Mn2+ were observed in addition to a broad EPR signal near g = 2 which is assigned to clusters of interconnected MnS4 units. The fine structure and hyperfine structure parameters for the single-ion centers (all in units of 1CT 4 cm -1) areb02 = -318.3 ± 3; b22 = -210.3 ± 2; Ay = -62.7; Az = -63.6 ± 0.8;b02 = -890 ± 18; b22 = -743 ± 36; Ay = -60.6; Az = - 61.4 ± 0.8;for centers I and II, resp. Center II arises from Zn sites of C 2 site symmetry while for center I assignment to either one of two sites with D2 site symmetry is possible. The larger hyperfine splitting constants as well as the superposition analysis favor the larger sites which are not occupied by Zn, but are partly occupied in the analogous Mn (and Co) compounds. Superposition analysis yields the same value of + 0.12 ± 0.02 cm-1 for the intrinsic zero field splitting parameter b̄2 of the bridging MnS4 units in both sites. gz is significantly higher than the free ion value indicating a higher degree of covalency than in Cds and CdGa2S4.

<em>Some complexes of Ni(II) have been prepared with 2-thio-3-acetyl hydantoin (TAHN) and 2-formyl pyridine thiosemicarbazone (FPTS). On the basis of elemental analysis and molar conductivity, the complexes have been formulated as NiL<sub>2</sub>X<sub>2</sub>, where L = TAHN or FPTS and X = Cl<sup>–</sup>, Br<sup>–</sup>, NCS<sup>–</sup>, ClO<sub>4</sub><sup>–</sup>. The infrared spectra of complexes and free ligand reveal that the ligand TAHN is co-ordinated through sulphur and acetyl oxygen, while FPTS ligand co-ordinates through heterocyclic nitrogen and sulphur to Ni(II) metal ion. The magnetic moment of these complexes are found to be 3.20-3.25 B.M. The values are greater than value (2.828 B.M) corresponding to two unpaired electrons of a d<sup>8</sup>-system. The appearance of four absorption bands in their electronic spectra reveal, the tetragonal distortion in the octahedral symmetry of complexes. The zero field splitting parameter(D) and the other crystal field parameters like Dq<sub>(xy)</sub>, Dq<sub>(z)</sub>, Dt have been calculated. The results show that, the tetragonal distortion parameter (Dt) increases in the order of NCS<sup>– </sup>&lt; Cl<sup>–</sup> &lt; Br<sup>–</sup> while the zero field splitting parameter (D) also increases in the same order for both the planer ligands.</em>

The electron spin resonance (ESR) of Cr3+ in K1−xTlxAl(SO4)2·12H2O has been studied at 300 K and 9.45 GHz. The ESR spectrum for x between 30 and 90% shows several chromium complexes. The variation of the zero-field splitting parameter D suggests that monovalent ions play an important role in the trigonal distortion of the water octahedron around the trivalent metal ion in alums. - PASC: 76.30 F.

Mixed-valent Mn/O dinuclear and polynuclear molecular compounds containing Mn III are almost without exception trapped valence. Large differences between the strengths of the exchange interactions within Mn II Mn III , Mn III Mn III and Mn III Mn IV pairs lead to situations where Mn III Mn IV interactions, the strongest of the three mentioned and antiferromagnetic in nature, dominate the intramolecular spin alignments in trinuclear and higher nuclearity mixed-valent complexes and often result in molecules that have large, and sometimes abnormally large, values of molecular spin ( S ). When coupled to a large molecular magnetoanisotropy of the easy-axis-type (negative zero-field splitting parameter, D ), also primarily resulting from individual Jahn–Teller distorted Mn III centres, such molecules will function as single-molecule magnets (molecular nanomagnets). Dissection of the structures and exchange interactions within a variety of mixed-valent Mn x cluster molecules with metal nuclearities of Mn 4 , Mn 12 and Mn 25 allows a ready rationalization of the observed S , D and overall magnetic properties in terms of competing antiferromagnetic exchange interactions within triangular subunits, resulting spin alignments and relative orientation of Mn III JT axes. Such an understanding has provided a stepping stone to the identification of a ‘magnetically soft’ Mn 25 cluster whose groundstate spin S value can be significantly altered by relatively minor structural perturbations. Such ‘spin tweaking’ has allowed this cluster to be obtained in three different forms with three different groundstate S values.

The Newman superposition model has been applied to second-order zero-field splitting parameter [Formula: see text] taken from the literature for Mn2+in Hg(ClO4)2· 6 H2O , M ″ SiF6·6 H2O (M ″= Fe, Co, Zn ) and M ″ NbOF5·6 H2O (M ″= Co, Zn ). In the calculations, the local lattice relaxation has been taken into account. It is shown that nearly the same value of intrinsic parameter b2=-0.057(8) cm-1is obtained.

EPR data for Mn2+ in Cs2ZnBr4, Rb3ZnBr5, Cs3CdBr5 and [(CH3)4N]2ZnBr4 single crystals were determined and the crystal structures of Rb3ZnBr5 and Cs2ZnBr4 were refined. Superposition analysis of the fine structure data for the latter two compounds resulted in an intrinsic zero field splitting parameter b̄2 for MnBr42- of + 0.44 cm-1 suggesting a sizeable positive contribution of covalency. Cs3CdBr5 was prepared in single crystals for the first time. It crystallizes in a primitive tetragonal space group. From the fine structure parameter 62° and the above value of b̄2 an elongation of the CdBr42- tetrahedra along the c-axis with a bond angle of 105.7° was determined. This result is in agreement with the anisotropy of the 55Mn hyperfine splitting constant with A|| = -68.6 and A±= - 70.6 • 10-4 cm-1
