The g-values of OsIII complexes nBu4N[1], Na[1] obtained from simulation of their EPR spectra
| g-factor a | nBu4N[1] b | Na[1] c |
|---|---|---|
| gmax | 2.44 ± 0.05 | 2.50 ± 0.05 |
| gmid | 1.44 ± 0.05 | 1.45 ± 0.05 |
| gmin | 1.31 ± 0.05 | 1.37 ± 0.05 |
a
While EPR is unable to provide the absolute sign of the g factor the ligand field theory analysis indicates that the g values are all negative for the investigated complexes (see Table 4). The assignment of g-tensor component directions is not made here; only ordering by magnitude (see Table 4 for such assignments).
