Isomer shifts, Mdssbauer spectroscopy

Mossbauer Spectroscopy. Mdssbauer spectroscopy has been used as a powerful technique to probe the electronic structure of the five- and six-coordinate ferrous nitrosyl porphyrins. The isomer shifts of both types of complexes (5 0.35 mm s ) are similar and show temperature dependences that are consistent with a second-order Doppler effect, but are slightly smaller than those of most other iron(II) porphyrin complexes (5 0.45 mm Unlike the isomer...

Studies on concentrated lanthanide metallic systems have also made it possible to establish a correlation between nonintegral valence (observable in concentrated lanthanide systems through lattice constant, Mdssbauer isomer shift, soft X-ray absorption and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy measurements) and nonmagnetic behavior of a lanthanide ion below the characteristic temperature. This has led to the concept of valence fluctuations (or interconfiguration fluctuations) which has stimulated the current intense activity among theorists and experimentalists alike. 

Similar to the isomer shifts in Mdssbauer spectroscopy, the results from photo-electron spectroscopy are sensitive to the local chemical environment of an atom. [88] However, whereas Mdssbauer spectroscopy reflects the initial electronic structure of the system under investigation, probes the state after elimination of an electron. [84] Furthermore, whereas the Mdssbauer isomer shift gives informations on the s electron density within the nuclear volume, XPS results describe the overall electronic charge denaty of an atom. As such, Moss-bauer spectroscopy and XPS compliment each other in an ideal manner.

The Mdssbauer effect should in principle provide useful information with respect to the bonding in rare earth complexes (Ofer et al., 1968) since the isomer shift is dependent on the electron density at the nucleus. A large number of rare earth nuclei are suitable for Mdssbauer spectroscopy, but only for Eu have complexes been extensively studied. Although a number of early papers appeared, the results were based on the report that the isomer shift in EujO relative to EuFj was less than 0.05 mm s whereas recent investigations have shown that for commercial EU2O3 the Eu isomer shift relative to EuFj-2H20 is... 

R atoms. This follows from the isomer shift results obtained by means of Eu, Dy and Gd Mdssbauer effect spectroscopy, which indicate that the R atoms donate electrons to the H atoms. These findings are in agreement with the fact that there is virtually no difference in electronegativity between H and the 3d metals but a considerable electronegativity difference between R and H. 

The Mdssbauer spectra were obtained in a conventional Austin spectrometer with constant acceleration at room temperature. The source was 2.13 mCi Co in a Pd matrix. The reported isomer shift values are related to natural iron ( Fe°). The data were adjusted with an iterative least-squares program which uses a Marquandt algorithm developed in the MOssbauer Spectroscopy Laboratory of the Physics Department of the University of Santiago.
