Gamma-irradiated calcium succinate monohydrate single crystal investigation with EPR technique.

In this study, EPR investigation of gamma-irradiated calcium succinate monohydrate [CaC(4)H(4)O(4)·H(2)O] single crystal has been carried out at room temperature. The compound crystallizes in monoclinic symmetry with the unit-cell dimensions: a=11.952(2)Å, b=9.691(2)Å, c=11.606(2)Å, ß=108.81(1)°. The observed lines in the EPR spectra reveal the formation of C˙H(α)CH(ß1)H(ß2) radical after irradiating [CaC(4)H(4)O(4)·H(2)O] single crystal. The angular variations of EPR spectra have shown that the radical type has only one site in three perpendicular planes. The principal g and a values and direction cosines of C˙H(α)CH(ß1)H(ß2) radical have been determined.

EPR and optical studies of vanadium doped potassium dihydrogen citrate (C6H7KO7) single crystal.

An EPR and optical studies of VO2+ doped potassium dihydrogen citrate (PDHC) single crystals have been carried out at room temperature. It crystallizes in triclinic symmetry with the unit cell dimensions: a=11.343Å, b=13.078Å, c=6.272Å, α=89.79°, ß=94.36°, γ=104.2°. The angular variation of EPR spectra have shown that two different VO2+ complexes are located in different chemical environments and each environment contains one magnetically VO2+ site occupying substitutional position in the lattice and show very high angular dependence.

An EPR and optical absorption study of Cu(2+) doped in disodium malonate trihydrate single crystal.

Single crystals and powder electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies of Cu(2+)-doped disodium malonate trihydrate [C(3)H(2)O(4)Na(2).3H(2)O] have been carried out at room temperature. The angular variation of the disodium malonate trihydrate single crystal have shown that two different Cu(2+) complexes are located in different chemical environments, and each environment contains one magnetically inequivalent Cu(2+) sites in distinct orientations occupying substitutional positions in the lattice and show very high angular dependence. The principal values of the g and the hyperfine tensors were determined and were found to be in agreement with the literature values. Crystal field around the Cu(2+) ion is nearly rhombic. The optical absorption studies show two bands at 603nm (16584cm(-1)) and 890nm (11236cm(-1)) which confirm the rhombic symmetry. The crystals field parameters and than the wave function are determined.
