Reagents
The metal salts used for the synthesis of the complexes were
BDH grade samples. The dicarboxylic acids used for the preparation
of the parent 4-coordinated and 6-coordinated systems like succinic
acid (H2suc), malonic acid (H2mal), oxalic acid (H2ox) and terephthalic
acid (H2tpa) were either BDH or Merck make and used as such. The

operating at 9.1 GHZ with a microwave power of 5 mW. The field set
is around 3000 G and the scan range used were either 2000 or
500 G. The spectra were obtained either at room temperature (for
insoluble solid samples) or at liquid nitrogen temperature of 770K
(for soluble samples). More often a methanol-toluene mixture was
used as solvent to facilitate better glass formation at low
temperature. DPPH or tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) radicals were
used as g marker.
The fundamental principles of EPR are essentially the same
as those of NMR. Practical difference arises from the fact that the
magnetic moment of an electron is substantially larger than that of
proton. The energy of resonance absorption is

where z-axis is the symmetry axis of the molecule and S and I terms
are components of the electron and nuclear spins in the specified
directions. In equation (2.4), the first two terms are Zeeman for
electron, third and fourth terms are the components due to the

nuclear (metal) hyperfine interaction and fifth and sixth terms are
contribution from the superhyperfine interaction of the ligand (N)
and the unpaired electron.
In a rigid medium each molecule has an orientation with
respect to the magnetic field and the tensor g and the hyperfine
coupling constant A can be written as
