Detailed electron spin resonance studies of single crystals of potassium chromate containing manganate and ferrate ions and of potassium orthovanadate containing hypom anganate ions are described and the appropriate spin Hamiltonians are determined. The results confirm the tetrahedral structure of these ions and the assignation of spin S = 1 to ferrate and hypomanganate. A discussion of the qualitative nature of the results shows that the unpaired electrons in these ions occupy a doubly degenerate molecular orbital.

The band maxima of transient optical absorption spectra observed by pulse radiolysis in ethylamine (EA)/tetrahydrofuran (THF) mixtures containing sodium tetraphenylboron are correlated with electron spin resonance (esr) hyperfine splitting constants obtained in potassium/EA/THF solutions. The data suggest that the optical spectra can be attributed to the same 'monomeric' species as observed by esr in alkali metal solutions.
