SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The translational diffusion constants of two paramagnetic species, dichlorobis(usd\etausd-cyclopentadienyl)vanadium, abbreviated as (Cp2VCl2) in chloroform, and S-methyl-N-usd5 usd-methoxy-salicylidenehydrazine-carbodithioatophenanthroline-oxovnadium(IV), abbreviated as VO (5-MeO-Sal SB) (Phen) in methylene chloride were measured at room temperature (25 1C) by a capillary diffusion method. The translational diffusion processes were monitored by electron spin resonance spectral intensities as a function of time. The total spectral intensities were plotted as a function of time and from the best least squares fit a single value of the translational diffusion coefficient was obtained. A computer program based on Fick's second law of diffusion for the capillary diffusion cell has been written to get a single value of the diffusion constant. It was found that Cp2VCl2 was undergoing anisotropic reorientation with N = 2.7 0.5 at an axis z = Y. In addition, the rotational correlation times as a function of temperature were determined from the line width data. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
