Abstract

AbstractThe F19 NMR absorption in powdered UF4 is investigated in the temperature range 122 to 433 °K at magnetic fields between 10000 and 5000 G. The fluorine absorption pattern in this paramagnetic material with seven nonequivalent F‐sites in the unit cell is reproduced qualitatively by a sum of six asymmetric component lines (H∥ ‐– H⊥)−1/2 × (H–H⊥)−1/2, some of which are shifted in the high field direction, and some in the low field direction. The occurrence of low‐field shifted components provides evidence of contact hyperfine interaction between the magnetic electrons and the fluorine nuclei whereas the occurrence of high‐field shifted components may arise from indirect coupling through electron transfer, and indicates partial covalent bonding between the magnetic electrons and the surrounding fluorine ions. This is supported by magnetic susceptibility and EPR data.
