Spectroscopic techniques to probe magnetic anisotropy and spin–phonon coupling in metal complexes
Adam T. Hand, Brandon D. Watson-Sanders, Zi‐Ling Xue
Abstract
recent approach in using three complementary techniques, far-IR and Raman magneto-spectroscopies (FIRMS and RaMS, respectively) and inelastic neutron scatterings (INS), to determine magnetic excited states. Spin-phonon couplings are observed in FIRMS and RaMS. DFT phonon calculations give energies and symmetries of phonons as well as calculated INS spectra which help identify magnetic peaks in experimental INS spectra.
