Abstract

A Cu2+-doped single crystal of catena-trans-bis(N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-ethylenediamine) zinc(II)-tetra-m-cyanopaladate(II) [ZnPd(CN)(4)(C4H12N2O2)] complex has been investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique at room temperature. EPR spectra indicate that Cu2+ ions substitute for magnetically equivalent Zn2+ ions and form octahedral complexes in [ZnPd(CN)(4)(C4H12N2O2)] hosts. The crystal field affecting the Cu2+ ion is nearly axial. The optical absorption studies show two bands at 322 nm (30864 cm(-1)) and 634 nm (15337 cm(-1)) which confirm the axial symmetry. The spin Hamiltonian parameters and the relevant wave function are determined.
