Abstract:
Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) study of Cu(2+) 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: Cu(2+) (I), g(x)=2.1577+/-0.0002, g(y)=2.2018+/-0.0002, g(z)=2.3259+/-0.0002, A(x)=(87+/-2)x10(-4)cm(-1), A(y)=(107+/-2)x10(-4)cm(-1), A(z)=(141+/-2)x10(-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)x10(-4)cm(-1), A(y)=(117+/-2)x10(-4)cm(-1)and A(z)=(134+/-2)x10(-4)cm(-1). The ground state wave function of the Cu(2+) ion in this lattice is evaluated to be predominantly |x(2)-y(2). The g-factor anisotropy is also calculated and compared with the experimental value. With the help of the optical absorption study, the nature of bonding in the complex is discussed.

When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.
