2.
a. Copper(II) acetate is a dimer, and the two copper atoms are strongly interacting.
The epr spectrum consists of seven lines with intensity ratios 1:2:3:4:3:2:1.
Copper nuclei have an I value of 2, and copper acetate consists of a ground state
that is a singlet and an excited state that is a triplet. Explain the number and relative
intensity of the lines in the spectrum. [For answer, see B. Bleaney and K. D. Bowers,
Proc. Roy. Soc. (London), A214, 451 (1952).]
b. What would you expect to happen to the signal intensity as a sample of copper
acetate is cooled? Why?
