The X-band EPR spectra of iron-containing VPI-5 were recorded at room temperature and liquid nitrogen temperature. An intense signal at g/sub ///=2.0 and gperpendicular to =6.0 characteristic of high-spin Fe3+ ions in axial symmetry was observed at both temperatures. A splitting of these components due to superhyperfine interaction indicated the presence of these Fe3+ ions in the network-forming position. An anisotropic line at G=4.3 and weak superhyperfine lines centred at g=1.7 characteristic of high-spin Fe3+ ions in orthorhombic symmetry were also observed at liquid nitrogen temperature. These signals may also be attributed to the presence of Fe3+ ions, most probably in the network-forming position. Lastly, the very weak signal at g=3.1 was tentatively assigned to traces of occluded compounds of iron outside the framework.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
