Abstract
The electron resonance spectrum of the cation of vanadyl octaethylporphyrin exhibits an unusual linewidth variation with the outer spectral lines sharper than the inner components. This observation corresponds to an inversion of the line broadening normally observed for vanadium (IV) complexes. The linewidth inversion is found to result from the anisotropy in the vanadium hyperfine interaction and the zero-field splitting which, when coupled with the molecular rotation, provides a powerful relaxation process. It is possible to provide a quantitative account of the observed linewidth variation if the anisotropy in the g tensor for the electron on vanadium is also included in the theory.
