The copper salt [Cu(H(2)O)(2)(imH)(4)] x Sq has been synthesized at room temperature. Crystal structure of the [Cu(H(2)O)(2)(imH)(4)] x Sq (Sq is squarete dianion (C(4)O(4)(2-)) and imH is imidazole (C(3)H(4)N(2))) complexes has been investigated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses and the environment of copper ion has been identified by EPR. The single crystal is triclinic with the space group P1. The unit cell dimensions of the crystals are a=9.317 Angstrom, b=9.958 Angstrom, c=12.130 Angstrom, alpha=69.99 degrees , beta=76.61 degrees and gamma=78.13 degrees . The unit cell contains two molecules. The Cu(II) atom has an octahedral arrangement in which the Cu(II) ion lies on the inversion canter and is coordinated by four imidazole ligands with the equatorial plane and two water molecules with the octahedral axial. The complex shows a normal magnetic moment and the single crystal EPR spectra consist of two sets of four hyperfine lines of copper. The ground wave function of the hole of the Cu(2+) is an admixture of d(x(2) - y(2)) and d(z(2)) states.     

An EPR study of Cu doped diaquabis(nicotinamide)bis(o-sulfobenzimidato-N)-cadmium(II) single crystals

The electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of Cu²⁺ doped diaquabis(nicotinamide)bis(o-sulfobenzimidato-N)-cadmium(II) (hereafter, CdNAS) single crystals which were taken at room temperature are discussed.

The principal values of the g and the hyperfine tensors were determined. The ground state wave functions of the unpaired electron of Cu²⁺ ions in two sites were constructed and type of the distortion was determined.     

Crystal structure and EPR studies of doped Cu2+ ion in [Zn(sac)2(en)2] single crystal

The tran-bis(ethylenediamine)bis(saccharinato)Zinc(II), [Zn(sac)₂(en)₂] (ZSED), (en: ethylenediamine and sac: saccharinate) complex has been synthesized and its crystal structure has been determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The compound crystallizes in space group P2₁/c. The Zn(II) ion is hexa-coordinated by four nitrogens of two bidentate en ligands composing the basal plane and two nitrogen atoms from the monodentate two sac ligands (N-bonded) occuping the axial sites, adopting an elongated octahedral sphere. Both en and sac ligands occupy the trans positions of the coordination octahedron. The Zn(II) ion in title compound sits on a inversion centre and is octahedrally coordinated two bidentate en (ethylenediamine) and two sac (saccharinate) (N-bonded) ligands.

The calculated results of the Cu²⁺ doped ZSED indicate that Cu²⁺ ion contains two magnetically inequivalent Cu²⁺ sites in distinct orientations occupying substitutional positions in the host lattice and show very high angular dependence.     

EPR of Mn2+ in [Co(H2O)6] PtCl6 single crystals: Estimation of Co2+ spin-lattice relaxation time

EPR of Mn²⁺ in single crystals of [Co(H₂O)₆]PtCl₆ has been studied from room temperature to 77 K at ∼ 9.35 GHz. Mn²⁺ has been found to substitute for Co²⁺ exhibiting a unique magnetic complex. The observation of resolved Mn²⁺ spectra has been interpreted in terms of a random modulation of the interaction between the Mn²⁺ and Co²⁺ ions by the rapid spin-lattice relaxation of Co²⁺ ions.

EPR and optical absorption studies of Cu2+ doped bis (glycinato) Mg (II) monohydrate single crystals

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) study of Cu²⁺ doped bis (glycinato) Mg (II) monohydrate single crystals is carried out at room temperature. Copper enters the lattice substitutionally and is trapped at two magnetically inequivalent sites. The observed spectra are fitted to a spin-Hamiltonian of rhombic symmetry with the following values of the parameters: Cu²⁺ (I), g_x = 2.1577 ± 0.0002, g_y = 2.2018 ± 0.0002, g_z = 2.3259 ± 0.0002, A_x = (87 ± 2) × 10^?4 cm^?1, A_y = (107 ± 2) × 10^?4 cm^?1, A_z = (141 ± 2) × 10^?4 cm^?1; Cu ²⁺ (II), g_x = 2.1108 ± 0.0002, g_y = 2.1622 ± 0.0002, g_z = 2.2971 ± 0.0002, A_x = (69 ± 2) × 10^?4 cm^?1, A_y = (117 ± 2) × 10^?4 cm^?1and A_z = (134 ± 2) × 10^?4 cm^?1.

Inorganic-organic hybrids formed by P,P'-diphenylmethylenediphosphinate, pcp2-, with the Cu2+ ion. X-ray crystal structures of [Cu(pcp)(H2O)2] x H2O and [Cu(pcp)(bipy)(H2O)

Weakly coordinated [Cu(pcp)(H2O)n] complexes are formed in aqueous solution, at room temperature, by interaction of P,P'-diphenylmethylene diphosphinic acid (H2pcp) with copper(II) ions. However, heating of the solutions gives rise to the formation of two extended metal-oxygen networks of formulas [Cu(pcp)(H2O)2] x H2O, 1, and [Cu(pcp)(H2O)2], 2. In the presence of 2,2'-bipyridyl (bipy) the diamine derivative [Cu(pcp)(bipy)(H2O)], 4, has been isolated. Complex 1 easily loses water to form a monohydrated derivative [Cu(pcp)H2O], 3, whereas 2 is completely dehydrated after prolonged heating at 150 degrees C, under vacuum. The compounds 1 and 2 have substantially different solid-state structures as shown by X-ray powder diffraction spectra, IR spectra, and thermogravimetric analyses. Consistently, the two complexes cannot be directly interconverted and present different dehydration pathways. Rehydration of these materials in both cases allows quantitative formation of 1. X-ray analysis established that the structure of 1 consists of a corrugated two-dimensional layered polymeric array, where infinite zigzag chains of Cu centers and bridging phenylphosphinate ligands are linked together through strong hydrogen-bonding interactions; the structure of 4 consists of monodimensional polymers, where the hydrogen-bonding interactions play an essential bridging role in the extended architecture. In both structures the metal center displays a five-coordinate environment with approximate square pyramidal geometry, with the pcp ligand acting as bidentate and monodentate in 1 and solely as bidentate in 4. In 1 the coordination sphere is completed through water molecules; in 4, through water and diamine ligands. The thermogravimetric analyses of the complexes are compared with those of the related hybrids [M(pcp)(H2O)3] x H2O, where M = Mn, Co, or Ni, confirming that noncoordinated water molecules also play a basic role in determining the molecular packing.

The data obtained are further used to discuss the surrounding crystal field and the nature of metal-ligand bonding in the crystal.     

Theoretical study of EPR spectra for Mn2+ ion in [Mg(H2O)6]SnCl6 single crystal

The relationship between the impurity structures and the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) parameters D, (a-F) have been studied by diagonalizing the complete energy matrices for Mn2+ ion in [Mg(H2O)6]SnCl6 single crystal in a trigonal ligand field within a weak-field-representation. It is shown that the local lattice structure around Mn2+ ion in [Mg(H2O)6]SnCl6 exhibits an elongation distortion which is different at 290 K and 77 K. The local structure parameters R=2.223+/-0.027A, theta=52.966+/-0.004 degrees and R=2.205+/-0.030A, theta=53.155+/-0.047 degrees for Mn2+ ion in [Mg(H2O)6]SnCl6 are determined at different temperatures 290 K and 77 K, respectively, and EPR parameters D and (a-F) can also get a satisfactory explanation simultaneously.     

An EPR and optical absorption study of VO2+ ions in sodium hydrogen oxalate monohydrate (NaHC2O4.H2O) single crystals

Electron paramagnetic resonance of VO(2+) doped sodium hydrogen oxalate monohydrate (NaHC(2)O(4).H(2)O) single crystals and powders are examined at room temperature. Single crystal rotations in each of the three mutually orthogonal crystalline planes namely ac*, b*c* and ab* indicate four different VO(2+) complexes with intensity ratios of 4:2:1:1. It is found from the EPR analysis that the Na(+) ions are replaced with the substitutional magnetically inequivalent VO(2+) ions. The powder spectrum also clearly indicates four different VO(2+) complexes, confirming the single crystal analysis. Crystalline field around the VO(2+) ion is nearly axial. The optical absorption spectrum show two bands centered at 15408 and 12453 cm(-1). Spin Hamiltonian parameters and molecular orbital coefficients are calculated from the EPR and optical data, and results are discussed.

Detailed investigations of the EPR spectra indicate that Cu(2+) ion substitute with Zn(2+) ion and forms tetrahedral complex in [Zn(sac)2(dmen)] and octahedral complex in [Zn(sac)2(paen)] hosts. Principal values of the g and hyperfine tensors are determined and the ground state wave functions of Cu(2+) ions are obtained using EPR parameters.     

EPR spectra of Cu2+ and VO2+ ions in ammonium hydrogen oxalate hemihydrate [(NH4)HC2O4 . (1/2)H2O] single crystals

Cu(2+) and VO(2+) doped ammonium hydrogen oxalate hemihydrate, [(NH(4))HC(2)O(4) . (1/2)H(2)O], single crystals have been studied at room temperature and at 113K in three mutually perpendicular planes. Both ions yield unexpectedly large number of lines. The calculated results of the Cu(2+) and VO(2+) doped in [(NH(4))HC(2)O(4) . (1/2)H(2)O] indicate that both ions substitute with the NH(4)(+) ion in the structure. The EPR spectra of Cu(2+) ions are characteristic of tetragonally elongated octahedral site and the spectra of VO(2+) are characteristic of tetragonally compressed complex. The angular variation of the EPR spectra has shown that two different Cu(2+) and VO(2+) complexes are located in different chemical environments, and each environment contains two magnetically inequivalent Cu(2+) and VO(2+) sites in distinct orientations occupying substitutional positions in the lattice and show very high angular dependence. The principal g and the hyperfine (A) values of both ions are determined.

Single crystal EPR of Cu(II) doped [Co(tbz)2(NO3)(H2O)]NO3: probe into copper-thiabendazole interaction

EPR of Cu(II) doped, low symmetry Co(II)-thiabendazole complex [Co(tbz)2(NO3)(H2O)](NO3) is investigated at 300 K. The spin Hamiltonian parameters are found to be orthorhombic with g33=2.305, g22=2.1351, g11=2.0626 and A33=147.0 x 10(-4), A22=33.5 x 10(-4) and A11=23.1 x 10(-4) cm(-1). Computer simulation of isofrequency plots reveal that the Cu(II) ions is substitutionally incorporated in the host lattice. Angular variation of the spectra shows the presence of two magnetic sites in the lattice. The low magnitude of A33 of the complex is rationalized in terms of admixture of d(x2-y2)/d(z2) ground state and delocalization of unpaired spin density onto the ligands.     

Crystal structure and single crystal EPR of (NH4)2(15-crown-5)3[Cu(mnt)2] and (NH4)2(benzo-15-crown-5)4[Cu(mnt)2]·0.5H2O

Two single crystals are composed of distinct structures of ammonium-crown ether supramolecular cation and [Cu(mnt)2]2- anion. The triple-decker dication in complex 1 and a sandwich dimmer in complex 2 were observed. X-Band EPR studies on the single crystals of both complex 1 and complex 2 have been carried out at room temperature, which revealed that complex 2 showed a perfect hyperfine structure of Cu whereas that of complex 1 could not be observed. The principal values and direction cosines of the principal axes of the g and A tensors were computed by a least-squares fitting procedure. The spin density of Cu(Ⅱ) was estimated according to the principal values of the A tensors and compared well with the results calculated based on DFT method.     

Population dynamics of the two light induced metastable states in Na2[Fe(CN)5NO]·2H2O single crystals

The dependence of the population dynamics on intensity, time, wavelength and polarisation of the illuminating light and on the temperature of both metastable states in Na₂ [Fe(CN)₅NO]·2H₂O single crystals is investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. The population and depopulation behaviour can be described by exponential functions. The wavelength dependence shows the spectral range in which both states can be excited and the existence of a transfer process from state II into state I. Further, light of the near infrared region, transfers state I into state II.
