EPR of Mn2+in hydrated double sulphates

Abstract
The electron paramagnetic resonance of Mn2+ in single crystals of CoM2'(SO4)2.6H2O(M'=Rb, Cs, Tl), M"Tl2(SO4)2.6H2O(M"=Mg, Zn), ZnNa2(SO4)2.4H2O and CdNa2(SO4)2.2H2O has been studied in X-band at room temperature (300K). Two magnetically inequivalent, but otherwise identical, complexes of Mn2+ have been found in all the systems. The complexes are related to each other by two-fold symmetry about the b axis. The resonance line positions are fitted to the spin-Hamiltonian of orthorhombic symmetry. The hyperfine splittings of Mn2+, surrounded by an octahedron of water molecules and by an octahedron of oxygens, were used to calculate the covalency in crystals containing Mn2+ surrounded both by water and by oxygen molecules.
