Popis: Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of CO33−molecule-ions stabilized by Sc3+ in natural calcite were identified and studied at X-band frequencies and room temperature. The principal values of the g-tensor (gx′x′= 1.9997, gy′y′ = 2.0030, gz′z′ = 1.9972) and the direction cosines of the g and A tensors for CO33−-Sc3+ center were found to be close to that for the well-known CO33−-Y3+ center. A quantitative comparison of different impurity contents in calcite samples and analysis of the intensities of forbidden transitions were used to identify Sc3+. An estimation of the unpaired electron spin density on the nuclei of paramagnetic centers confirms that both centers, CO33−-Sc3+ and CO33−-Y3+, have the same nature.
