magnetochemistry

In order to fully understand the electronic structure (and ultimately the reactivity due to the particular electron distribution within the molecule) we apply magnetic susceptibility measurements using a SQUID magnetometer. For iron containing complexes, 57Fe-Mössbauer spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy are used as complementary tools for probing molecular magnetism and for elucidating the electronic structure of transition metal complexes.
