The phosphorescence emission and electron spin resonance spectra of methyl mesitoate (1) and mesitonitrile (2) have been studied in order to assess the steric effect (inhibition of resonance) in the former. The triplet energy of 1 (80.5 kcal mol−1) is considerably higher than that of 2 (74.2 kcal mol−1) while the zero-field splitting parameters are very similar (1, D/hc = 0.127 cm−1, E/hc = 0.013 cm−1; 2, D/hc = 0.127 cm−1, E/hc = 0.006 cm−1). The triplet energy and zero-field splitting parameters of o-, m-, and p-methyl toluate and o-, m-, and p-tolunitrile are also reported.

ESR spectra of Fe+3 located at one of the aluminium sites in cordierite have been investigated at X- and K-band frequencies at room temperature. The spectra exhibit large zero-field splitting and have been fitted to a spin Hamiltonian of orthorhombic symmetry, having constants b20 = 14.6 ± 0.1 kG, b22 = 8.5 ± 0.1 kG, and isotropic g = 2.004 ± 0.002.

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.

Quantum mechanical calculations using ab initio and semi-empirical methods have been carried out for elucidating the electronic structure and geometry of 2-naphthylphenylcarbene conformers. The Z/cis conformer has the lowest ground state triplet energy, the lowest triplet–triplet (T0–T1) transition energy, as well as the largest zero-field splitting parameter D. A clear-cut relationship between the D value and the geometry is pointed out. Keywords: carbenes, conformational isomerism, triplet–triplet transitions, CS-INDO/CI calculations, ZFS D parameters.

The electron-nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) of 53Cr3+ ions and the electron spin resonance (ESR) of VO2+ ions are studied in single crystals of AlCl3∙6H2O. The ENDOR measurements are done at 4.2 K while the resonance of VO2+ is studied at room temperature. The sign of the Cr3+ spin Hamiltonian zero field splitting parameter D is found to be negative while the anisotropic hyperfine parameter has the relation A < B. It is concluded that the octahedron of waters surrounding the chromium ion is trigonally compressed. The value of the 53Cr3+ quadrupole interaction parameter Q′ is nearly the same as that found previously in the cesium alums even though the D value is considerably smaller in AlCl3∙6H2O. This indicates that Q′ is independent of D at 4.2 K in these salts and the expected proportionality [Formula: see text], which is based on a purely static distortion for the octahedron of waters surrounding the Cr3+ ion, does not hold. The resonance results for VO2+ show the nature of the two inequivalent but otherwise similar Al∙6H2O complexes in the unit cell. The VO2+∙5H2O complexes associated with the two types of aluminum sites are found to be rotated relative to each other by an angle of 33 ± 3° in the plane perpendicular to the crystal c axis. A comparison of the spin Hamiltonian parameters of VO2+ and 53Cr3+ in AlCl3∙6H2O with those obtained previously in CsAl alum indicates that the Al∙6H2O complexes in CsAl alum are more susceptible to distortion upon impurity doping than are those in AlCl3∙6H2O.
