The EPR of Cr3+ in mixed alum Rbx(NH4)1-xAl(SO4)2 . 12H2 O has been studied at ca. 300 K and ca. 9.45 GHz. The EPR spectrum for x between 30 to 70% shows more than one kind of chromium complexes. The variation in magnitude of zero-field splitting parameter D indicates that the monovalent ions probably play an important role in the trigonal distortion of the water octahedron around the trivalent metal ion in alums.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
