Erratum: Magnetic circular dichroism of Na3Eu(ODA)3⋅2NaClO4⋅6H2O [J. Chem. Phys. 100, 815 (1994)]

Can magnetic circular dichroism tackle the problem of site symmetry in solutions?

“…Looking at the set of d-orbitals it is found that |+1S, respectively, mixes with /+1| for C 4v ; with /À1| for D 2d and with /À2| for D 3h : As left circularly polarized light is absorbed to the |+1S level, the result is absorption of left circularly polarized light to the upper component in the case of C 4v ; while absorption occurs to the lower component in D 2d and D 3h : This is indeed confirmed experimentally for KY 3 F 10 / Eu 3+ (C 4v ) [9,10] and LiYF 4 /Eu 3+ (D 2d ) [11]. For D 3h ; the predicted negative signs are demonstrated in single crystals with a distorted D 3h -symmetry, e.g., europiumoxydiacetate (D 3 ) [12] and other symmetries not considered here like LaF 3 /Eu 3+ (C 2v ) [13] and EuCl 6 3À (D 2 ) [14]. So far for the classic parallel Zeeman effect.…”

Interpretation of europium(III) spectra

“…with the magnetic field lines parallel to the light beam) [593]. The majority of the MCD studies on trivalent rare-earth ions were devoted to the Eu 3+ ion [195,212,492,513,[593][594][595][596][597][598][599][600][601][602][603][604][605][606]. The non-degenerate ground state ( 7 F can also be measured in the case of broad absorption bands, whereas Zeeman spectra cannot.…”

“…[16] The starting free-ion parameters were those reported for [Eu(oda) 3À 3 ] (oda 2,2'-oxydiacetic acid). [15] These parameters were kept constant during the fitting procedure, except for the parameters F 2 , F 6 , j 4f , and T 2 , which have been optimized individually. Finally all crystal field parameters were allowed to vary freely.…”
