| Abstract: | The EPR spectra of Maxixe-type beryl contain a large number of overlapping signals. The angular dependence of the 1:3:3:1
signal typical for the CH3 radical shows that this radical is located at the center of the channel cavity with its symmetry axis parallel to the crystal
c-axis and is rotating around this axis. Its EPR spectrum is axially symmetric with g
// = 2.00263, g
⊥ = 2.00249 and A// = 2.288 mT, A⊥ = 2.256 mT. These anisotropies have the opposite signs of those found for surface-adsorbed methyl radicals. Hydrogen atoms
are located at position 2a at the center of the beryl cavity and the EPR parameters of the narrow doublet signal are A
0 = 1,407 MHz and g = 2.00230. Another doublet signal, which is broader and has axial symmetry with g
// = 2.00265, g
⊥ = 2.00625 and A// = 0.895 mT, A⊥ = 0.885 mT, could come from a HCO3 radical. One narrow and easily saturated signal with g
// = 2.00227 and g
⊥ = 2.00386 is interpreted to arise from a carbon monoxide radical in the beryl channel, oriented with its axis parallel to
the crystal c-axis. Additional weak doublet lines, which have similar g values as the carbon monoxide radical, are created by nearby hydrogens. A powder spectrum with g
// = 2.0017 and g
⊥ = 2.0004 appears upon UV irradiation of the single crystal and is easily saturated. This spectrum is interpreted to arise
from a carbon dioxide radical, which rotates around its symmetry axis. |
