Abstract
The electron spin resonance (ESR) of Pt(III) in platinum pyrimidine green is investigated. The spectrum shows a typical powder pattern of uniaxial symmetry and g∥ and g⊥ are determined to be 1.991 and 2.413, respectively. It is concluded that the spectrum derives essentially from the 5dz2-like hole state of Pt(III) (5d7). The hyperfine structure of the spectrum suggests that the unpaired spin is not localized on one platinum center but has a wide orbital extended over four platinum atoms. The molecular structure is expected to resemble that of α-pyridone blue.
