The magnetic properties of three compounds which are appropriate as magnetic susceptibility standards have been studied in detail. A new value of -1.86 ± 0.01 K has been determined for the Weiss constant of HgCo(NCS)4, and the zero-field splitting parameter, D, has been found to be +19 ± 3 cm1 with g being 2.22 ± 0.03. The magnetic data for bis(2,2'-bipyridine)thioureacopper(II) perchlorate may be reproduced accurately from the expression M = Ng¡/¡JB3(X) where B3(X) = [(2-7 + l)/2J] coth ([(2J + 1)/2J]X| -(1/2J) coth (X/2J) and X = g$JH/kT using g = 2.1175, the average of the single crystal EPR g values. The magnetic data for [(C-H3)2NHCH2CH2NH(CH3)2]CuC14 may also be reproduced by these expressions using g = 2.15. This latter compound is suggested to be a convenient magnetic susceptibility standard.
Notes value over quite a wide range, and the positions of these levels were therefore calculated using an approximate value of B « 500 cm-1 (based on the solution data) and the other param-
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.
