Abstract
The electron paramagnetic resonance of the VO2+ ion in methyl ammonium gallium alum single crystals has been studied. It is observed that the VO+2 ion substitutes for the Ga3+ ion and forms a [VO(H2O)5]2+ complex, a distorted octahedron with a H2O vacancy along VO bond direction. The octahedron cubic axes are found to be displaced from crystallographic 〈001〉 axes by 9° in [110] plane. The EPR results suggest that the host alum probably belongs to type in which the presence of VO2+ twists the octahedron cubic axes by about 9° from the crystallographic 〈100〉 axes. Optical absorption studies confirm the formation of [VO(H2O)5]2+. By correlating the EPR and optical absorption data, the covalency rates of bonding between the vanadium atom and equatorial ligands and of the bonding between vanadium atom and the vanadyl oxygen have been estimated.
