Electron Spin Resonance Spectrum of the Pentacyanonitrosylferrate (I) Anion

Abstract

Bernal and Hockings1 have recently deduced from electron spin resonance data that the pentacyanonitro-sylferrate (I) anion should be considered as a molecular species with the unpaired electron delocalized between the metal and the nitrogen atom of the NO+ group. This work has now been extended, and results presented here show to what extent the electron is delocalized.
