Abstract: The Co2Sm2W3O14 compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, and melts congruently at 1443 K. The magnetic measurements showed that Co2Sm2W3O14 is a paramagnet in the temperature range 4.2-225 K showing both the residual magnetic interactions since the paramagnetic Curie-Weiss temperature   0 and the uncompensated temperature independent contributions of magnetic susceptibility since 0  0. The Brillouin fit of the Landé factor revealed an increase of the orbital contribution to the total magnetic moment of the compound what seems to be responsible for its hard and spontaneous magnetization at low temperatures.

Abstract: New d-electron and rare-earth metal tungstates (CoRE2W2O10; CoRE4W3O16; Co2RE2W3O14 and NiRE2W2O10) were studied by the IR and EPR spectroscopy methods. The IR absorption bands with their maxima can be assigned to the symmetric and asymmetric stretching modes of W-O bonds in the joint of WO6 octahedra and also to the oxygen double WOOW bridge bonds. The wide, unstructured EPR powder spectra of these compounds and their temperature evolution have been analyzed and interpreted.

Abstract: As a result of the Schiff base condensation the gadolinium macroacyclic and macrobicyclic Schiff base complexes have been synthesized and investigated by infrared spectroscopy (IR) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Both electron ionization and electron spray Molecular Spectroscopy spectra confirmed the [1:1] proportion of a ligand to metal in gadolinium macrocyclic and mocrobicyclic Schiff base complex samples. The thermogravimetrydifferential thermal analysis (TG-DTA) indicated the presence of two water molecules in the innersphere of the macrobicyclic complex and confirmed no water coordination of the metal ion in the macroacyclic complex. The temperature dependence of the integrated intensity of the EPR spectra enabled the magnetic interactions in the spin system of these compounds to be revealed.
