X-band e.s.r. measurements of aqueous solutions containing titanium(III) trichloride at room temperature and 77 K provide evidence for the formation of aquated Ti(OH)2+ as the major product of hydrolysis at low pH, along with dimeric species Ti2(OH)24+ formed in small amounts. When certain organic solvents miscible with water are present a further hydrolytic product suggested to be Ti2(OH)5+ is found at low pH. Consideration of an interaction spin Hamiltonian which takes into account the symmetry properties of the paramagnetic ion pair systems makes possible the computer simulation of the experimental spectra due to the dimeric species. By this procedure the magnetic parameters associated with the titanium(III) dimers have been evaluated along with a determination of the titanium(III)-titanium(III) ion separations. This information has been used to suggest possible structures for the dimeric species.

The magnetic susceptibility of (N-2-pyridylsalicylaldiminato)copper(II) nitrate and chloride has been measured at room temperature and 97 K. Contrary to results reported previously we find no evidence for the presence of magnetic exchange interactions in these compounds. Electron spin resonance spectral data on the ethanol-dimethylformamide solutions of the chelates show that the chelates are monomeric in the liquid phase but largely in dimeric form in frozen solution. Computer simulation of the experimental e.s.r. spectra due to the dimeric form has enabled a determination of the symmetry arrangement and structural properties of the pair system to be made.

An anisotropic ESR signal detected in single crystals of 5-methyl-1,3,2,4-dithiazolylium hexafluoroarsenate [Formula: see text] is shown to be that of 1,2,4,3,5-trithiadiazolyl, S3N2+•. The g- and 14N-hyperfine tensors for this radical were established in the monoclinic abc* crystal-axis system from spectral measurements at room temperature on aligned single crystals. Agreement of the principal values of the tensors with those obtained in our earlier studies by simulation of powder spectra is excellent. The g-tensor (2.0021, 2.0072, 2.0248) and the two 14N-tensors (25.4, 0.8, 0.8 MHz) are collinear within experimental error and lie with minimum g and maximum hyperfine perpendicular to the plane of the host cation. The electronic structure of the radical deduced from our earlier studies (2A2 in C2V) is confirmed, and the impurity is shown to substitute for the host cation in the anticipated manner.
