Popis: Electronic paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of xLi 2 O·(30 − x)MoO 3 ·70B 2 O 3 glasses (0 ≤ x ≤ 25) containing 2 mol% V 2 O 5 were studied between room and liquid-helium temperatures at X-band frequencies. The spectra are typical of V 4+ ions present in vanadyl (VO 2+ ) form in the glass. The spin-Hamiltonian parameters (SHP), g ∥ g ⊥ , A ∥ , and A ⊥ , the dipolar hyperfine coupling parameter, P, and the Fermi constant interaction parameter, k, were evaluated. It was found that these parameters are independent of the temperature. Results suggest that the tetragonal distortion of the V 4+ O 6 complex increases with increase in the Li 2 O:MoO 3 ratio. It was also found that the increase in this ratio results in an expansion of the 3d xy orbit of unpaired electrons in the vanadium ion and that the spin-Hamiltonian parameters do not depend on the value of theoretical optical basicity.
