Electron Spin Resonance Line-Widths in Solutions of Copper and Silver Dithiocarbamates

Abstract

IN previous publications the electron spin resonance data of dithiocarbamates of the coinage metals ([RR′NCS2]2Me ; Me = copper, silver or gold) have been used for a determination of valence states of the metals1 and in a discussion of the bonding of the metal ions2. The copper and silver compounds exhibit very low effective spin-orbit coupling energy with small resonance anisotropy and unusually narrow linos. The small line-width makes it possible to analyse the influence on the width from a number of factors, and we shall briefly report on the effect of temperature, of dissolved oxygen and of different solvents.
