Orbital reduction factor: for

From the epr data for Np(BH ) and Np(BD ) shown in Table 12 we see that the wave function obtained from the optical analysis (k = 1.0) does not give the correct g value. The orbital reduction factor needed to fit the measured g value for Np(BD ) is less than that obtained from the C py/Cpj value of 0.93. The orbital reduction factor for Np(BH CH ) indicates a greater covalency for this molecule than in the unsubstituted Np(BH ) consistent with the magnetic results for U(BH ) and U(BH CH ). ...
