The EPR spectrum and structure of the mixed alkali metal trimer cluster Na2Li prepared using a rotating cryostat
Abstract
The EPR spectrum of the mixed alkali metal cluster Na2Li in an adamantane matrix has the isotropic parameters g= 2.001, a(2 23Na)= 12.66 mT and a(7Li)= 0.35 mT indicating a static obtuse-angled structure with an apical lithium atom in C2v symmetry with a 2B2 ground state.
