Mothilal KK, Karunakaran C, Sambasiva Rao P, Murugesan R: Single crystal EPR of Cu (II) doped [Co (tbz) 2 (NO3)(H2O)] NO3: probe into copper-thiabendazole interaction. Spectrochim Acta A Mol Biomol Spectrosc. 2003 Dec;59(14):3337-45. EPR of Cu (II) doped, low symmetry Co (II)-thiabendazole complex [Co (tbz) 2 (NO3)(H2O)](NO3) is investigated at 300 K. The spin Hamiltonian parameters are found to be orthorhombic with g33=2.305, g22=2.1351, g11=2.0626 and A33=147.0 x 10 (-4), A22=33.5 x 10 (-4) and A11=23.1 x 10 (-4) cm (-1). Computer simulation of isofrequency plots reveal that the Cu (II) ions is substitutionally incorporated in the host lattice. Angular variation of the spectra shows the presence of two magnetic sites in the lattice. The low magnitude of A33 of the complex is rationalized in terms of admixture of d (x2-y2)/d (z2) ground state and delocalization of unpaired spin density onto the ligands. |
