Electronic structures of organometallic complexes of f elements. LIII. Comparison of the experimental spectroscopic splitting factors of a magnetically diluted tetrahydrofuran adduct derived from tris(η5-cyclopentadienyl)erbium with calculated values based on wavefunctions obtained from a parametric analysis of the absorption spectrum
摘要:
The absorption spectrum of (eta(5)-Cp)(3)Er.MeTHF (1) has been measured at room and low temperatures. Fitting the experimental energy levels to those obtained by the diagonalization of the energy matrices obtained from a parametric Hamiltonian resulted in 47 crystal field assignments with an r.m.s. deviation of 27.6 cm(-1). The averaged values of the spectroscopic splitting factors \g(parallel to)\=8.07 and \g(perpendicular to)\=4.41 (extracted from the 2.6 K electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum Of Cp3La0.945Er0.055.THF (2)) could be reproduced in a satisfactory manner with the wavefunction of the CF ground state obtained from these calculations. Also the experimentally determined temperature dependence of mu(eff)(2) of the powdered complex 1 could be simulated by using the calculated wavefunctions and eigenvalues.
