Theoretical investigation of the optical and EPR parameters for VOion in some complexes

The molecular orbital coefficients and the EPR parameters of trisodium citrate dihydrate, sodium hydrogen oxalate monohydrate, potassium d-gluconate monohydrate and L-Alanine vanadyl complexes are calculated theoretically. Two d-d transition spectra and EPR parameters for the VO²⁺ complex are calculated theoretically by using crystal-field theory. The calculated g and A paramaters have indicated that paramagnetic center is axially symmetric. Having the relations of g_∥〈g_⊥〈g_e and A_∥〉A_⊥ for VO²⁺ ions, it can be concluded that VO²⁺ ions are located in distorted octahedral sites (C_4v) elongated along the z-axis and the ground state of the paramagnetic electron is d_xy.
