Proton Knight shift in the organic conductor (fluoranthenyl)2AsF6

Abstract
Proton Knight shifts in the organic conductor (fluoranthenyl)2 AsF6 in the metallic phase have been determined from multiple-pulse NMR experiments. Two different inequivalent sites with dis- tinct hyperfine-tensor interactions due to conduction electrons were identified with A11(1)=-3 MHz, A22(1)=-11 MHz, A33(1)=-6 MHz; A11(2)=-1 MHz, A22(2)=-1 MHz, A33(2)=-9 MHz. These can be related to the spin-density distribution of the conduction electrons on the molecules. The conduction-band molecular orbital is shown to be strongly dominated by the fluoranthenyl molecular orbital.
