(I) and [FeL3](BF4). (II) ~a~ been studied betwe.en 2~5 and 4.2°K (L=2-methyl-1, lO-phenanthroline). At 295°K, compound I exhibits a quadrupole split pair of lines characteristic of a 5T, ground state, !1EQ(5T,) = 1.03 mm sec-I and 8IBo(5T,) = +0.9.5 m.m sec~l. At 244°K, line broadening is observed. At even lower temperatures, e.g., at 196 K, the relative Intensity of the doublet has decreased and a second doublet typical of a IAI ground state has appeared. At 4.2°K, 72.7% of the intensity is due to IA I , !1EQ(IA I) =0.57 mm secl, and 8 IB (IAI) =0.?8 mm S~C-I. Similar behavior is encountered in II. The observations are accounted for by slow electronIc relaxatIOn between 6T, and lAI in the temperature range between 230 and 120 0 K and the assumpt!on of permanently ~ar~mag netic molecules which become apparent below nOK. A change of the relaxatIOn at about 244 K IS likely. From the temperature dependence of !1EQ(6T,), the axial field splitting is 8=-640 cm-1 in I and?= -58~ cm-~ in II. In conjunction with magneti~ data it is demons~rated t~at.the 5T2-111 ~ner~ separatIOn 8 vanes with temperature: 8=300 cm-1 at 294 K and 8=990 cm I at 9~ K In I and Similarly In II. In an applied field of 50 kG, the sign of V" is positive for the lAI component In both I and II.
