“…Typically, the magnetic properties of MOFs have mainly been investigated by magnetic susceptibility measurements. ,,,, However, recently, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy has been more widely applied in this field, as it may provide complementary information about the paramagnetic ions and their magnetic coupling on a microscopic scale. ,,, However, EPR is traditionally employed for investigations of paramagnetic ions in magnetically diluted materials where the various magnetic interactions can be fully resolved. In that way, in a previous electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) study we have explored the coordination state of cupric ions in the magnetically diluted mixed-metal MOF ∞ 3 [Cd 0.98 Cu 0.02 (prz–trz–ia)] and determined their magnetic interaction tensors .…”
