Abstract
The HgF radical has been generated by photolysis during the codeposition reaction of Hg atoms and F2(g) in an argon matrix at 12 K. The magnetic parameters are g(∥) = 1.993(1), g ⊥ = 1.961(1); A ∥ (19F) = 1344(10) MHz, A ⊥ (19F) = 195(5), A ∥ (199Hg) = 22 622(10), A ⊥(199Hg) = 21 880(8), A ∥ (201Hg) = 8055(12), A ⊥ (201Hg) = 7760(10). Utilizing the g and Atensor data, the electronic structure of HgF is compared to the other MF radicals studied.
