Midssbaucr paramagnctic hfs and EPR studies characterize the ground quartet term in:bis(N. N diisopropyldithiocarbamato) irot@ chloride. The electric interactions of the spin (S = :) and nucleus (iex = 3) are not simply related: the core polarization field from the quartet level is 223(SZ-)kOe.
i Several recent studies of penta-coordinate ironm in bis(N,N-dialkyldithiocarbamato) iron halides have shown the ground electronic state of the iron to be an orbital singlet and spin q&rtet: S = Q, g= 2.00 [l-3]. While one complex is a novel ferromagnet [2], these systems are more commonly paramagnetic to low temperatures [4]. The present

EPR and polycrystalline Mijssbauer effect (ME) studies relating to the ground quartet in the representative paramagnetic complex, Fe[diisopropyl DTC]2Cl. The spin Hamiltonian (SH) parameters characterizing the quartet level have been derived from the EPR data. The Mbssbauer paramagnetic hfs shows that the major axis of the crystal field interaction within the S = 4 manifold, and the major axis of the electric field gradient (EFG) at the nucleus, I,, = +, are not simply related. As discussed below, this is equivalent to the statement that in a paramagnet, as in magnetically ordered systems, there need be no

The ground doublet (at D?l+3h2) has effective gvalues & = 5.99, g& = 0.21 and gi = 0.20. As the ground term is an orbital singlet, an effective paramagnetic hyperfine field is expected from the lower doublet [6]. The resolved ME paramagnetic hfs at 1.2% fig. 1, may be analyzed with the see spin Hamiltonian mentioned above, with the substitutions
simple relation between hyperfine field direction and EFG tensor orientation. The site symmetry of the ironm in the Fe[diisopropyl DTC]$l complex is assumed to be C2v on the basis of available chemical and crystallographic information for the relatti Fe[diethyl DTC]2CI homologue [ 11. The Fe[diisopropyl DTC12Cl complex shows spin only paramagnetism to 0.3oK (measured by the techniques described in ref. [2]). Its &fE&iVe InOXIIt?nt was 3.96 /LB in

The EFG is expressed with respect to its principal axis system, whose orientation relative to E&f is given by the conventional spherical polar coordinates (D and 8. The Mtlssbauer pattern is reproduced by the parameters ~0= 00, 8 = 9Oo, ($eqQ) = 0.134 * 0.005 cm/set and v = 0.16 = 0.01;
