Transition metal paramagnetic complexes that warrant further comment are the radical anions derived from metallocene- (especially ferrocene-) ketyls and related species, such as compounds IX (61), X (45), or XI (146), and metallonitroxides. From the ESR spectra of compounds... 

This is characteristic of a metal and occurs because, in the presence of a magnetic field, the energy of spins parallel to the magnetic field is lowered and that of anti-parallel spins is raised. With a constant Fermi energy this means that anti-paraiiel spin electrons above F will flip their spins and occupy the empty parallel spin states below EF. There is then a preponderance of parallel spins that renders the metal paramagnetic.

The lanthanides and actinides have seven f orbitals to fill before they even start on the d s, and so they are essentially never able to bind a sufficient number of ligands to raise the electron count to the s p d P, or 32e configuration of the appropriate noble gas, for example, U(cot)2,22e, CP2LUCH3,28e. This means that the stoichiometry of the complex tends to be decided by steric saturation of the space around the metal. Paramagnetic complexes (eg, V(CO)e, 17e Cp2Fe+, 17e Cp2Ni, 20e) generally do not obey the 18e rule. 

We start with the Fe monolayer supported on the fee Ag(lOO) substrate. In this example we have to deal not only with the loss of bonds at the sur-faee but also with the interaetion between Fe (ferromagnetie) and Ag (noble metal, paramagnetic) that can influence the electronic and magnetic proper-... 

The only important compound is the paramagnetic silver(II) fluoride, AgFj, prepared by fluorination of the metal it is used as a convenient fluorinating agent. 

The aromatic shifts that are induced by 5.1c, 5.If and S.lg on the H-NMR spectrum of SDS, CTAB and Zn(DS)2 have been determined. Zn(DS)2 is used as a model system for Cu(DS)2, which is paramagnetic. The cjkcs and counterion binding for Cu(DS)2 and Zn(DS)2 are similar and it has been demonstrated in Chapter 2 that Zn(II) ions are also capable of coordinating to 5.1, albeit somewhat less efficiently than copper ions. Figure 5.7 shows the results of the shift measurements. For comparison purposes also the data for chalcone (5.4) have been added. This compound has almost no tendency to coordinate to transition-metal ions in aqueous solutions. From Figure 5.7 a number of conclusions can be drawn. (1) The shifts induced by 5.1c on the NMR signals of SDS and CTAB... 

The addition of paramagnetic species, such as the metal ions Cu ", Mn, or CF", can have dramatic effects on both the observed spectmm and the relaxation behavior of a molecule. The added ion reduces nuclear relaxation times, and permitting more rapid data collection. In addition, faster relaxation rates minimize NOE effects in the spectra, which can be useful in obtaining quantitative intensity data. The most widely used reagent for this purpose is chromium acetylacetonate [13681 -82-8] known as Cr(acac)2. Practically speaking, the use of such reagents requires care, because at... 

Rhenium metal exhibits a very low paramagnetism which is field-iadependent and almost temperature-iadependent. In the range 79—471 K, magnetic susceptibiUty data for two independent samples were shown to correspond, when Tis ia Kelvin, to the following equations (5) ... 

Uranium metal is weaMy paramagnetic, with a magnetic susceptibility of 1.740 X 10 A/g at 20°C, and 1.804 x 10 A/g (A = 10 emu) at 350°C (51). Uranium is a relatively poor electrical conductor. Superconductivity has been observed in a-uranium, with the value of the superconducting temperature, being pressure-dependent. This was shown to be a result of the fact that there are actually three transformations within a-uranium (37,52). 

For example, in Ni(CO) nickel metal having 28 electrons coordinates four CO molecules to achieve a total of 36 electrons, the configuration of the inert gas krypton. Nearly every metal forming a carbonyl obeys the 18-electron rule. An exception is vanadium, forming a hexacarbonyl in which the number of electrons is 35. This carbonyl, which has a paramagnetism equivalent to one unpaired electron, however, readily adds one electron to form a closed valence shell complex containing the V(CO)(, anion. 

In the above-mentioned 1980 symposium (p. 8), the historians Hoddeson and Baym outline the development of the quantum-mechanical electron theory of metals from 1900 to 1928, most of it in the last two years of that period. The topic took off when Pauli, in 1926, examined the theory of paramagnetism in metals and proved, in a famous paper (Pauli 1926) that the observations of weak paramagnetism in various metals implied that metals obeyed Fermi-Dirac statistics - i.e., that the electrons in...
