摘要
We report the high frequency electron paramagnetic resonance (HF-EPR) study of Cr-3(dpa)(4)Cl-2, a linear tri-atomic (Cr-II)(3) chain, that was reported to be EPR silent at the X-band (9.5 GHz). Higher frequencies yield well resolved spectra for this S = 2 system even at room temperature. At 30 K, our variable frequency (34-400 GHz) EPR spectra yield a large axial zero-field splitting (D) of -1.643(1) cm(-1) as well as a small rhombic ZFS parameter E = 0.0339(4) cm(-1); with g(x) = 1.9978(4), g(y) = 1.9972(4), and g(z) = 1.9808(4). The magnetic susceptibility measurements fully support the earlier magnetic susceptibility studies and the current EPR results. The observation of the EPR spectrum of only the S = 2 state at room temperature suggests that the ground state is well isolated from the excited states. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
