| Abstract: | The gadolinium chelates with: acetylacetone—Gd(acac)3 · 3H2O, thenoyltrifluoroacetone—Gd(TTA)3 · 2H2O, benzoylacetone—Gd(BAC)3 · 2H2O, ethylenediaminetetraacetate Gd(EDTA) and diglycolate Gd(DGA)3 have been chosen for EPR study (X band). The EPR spectra of these complexes were obtained in the form of badly separated signals and thus were difficult to interpret. In order to improve the spectra resolution a computer analysis based on Fourier transform was applied. This analysis permitted a considerable increase in resolution of the spectra and revealed the fine structure of Gd3+ ion in the condensed phase. |
