ESR of GdF3 and related molecules at 4 K

Article abstract of DOI:10.1063/1.441969

The pyramidal (C_3ν) GdF3 molecule was trapped in neon and argon matrices at 4 K and its ESR spectrum measured in the X-band region.In neon the spectrum exhibited several off-principal-axis transitions which were sensitive to the assigned magnetic parameters.It was shown to be a S=7/2 molecule (ground state ⁸A₁) with g<*> = 1.995, g<*> = 1.990, and = 0.433 cm^-1.The 19F hfs was unresolved and therefore < ca. 10 G.Only the m_s = + 1/2 <-> - 1/2 transition of GdH3 was observed, yielding = 0.7 to 1.3 cm^-1, and it is inferred to be a planar (D_3h) molecule (ground state ⁸A'₁).Weak spectra of GdCl3 (⁸A₁) and GdF2 (⁹A₁) were also observed, yielding ca. 0.36 and 0.20 cm^-1, respectively.
