Popis: For the first time, an EPR spectrum of Mo3+ ions in yttrium-aluminium garnet has been obtained. The ions isomorphously replace Al3+ ions in the trigonally distorted oxygen octahedra of the garnet. The spectrum may be described by an axial spin-Hamiltonian with the parameters S = 3/2, I = 5/2, g∥ = g⟂ = 1.967, b = 26.0 GHz, A = (131 ± 2) MHz, and B = (139 ± 2) MHz. The results have been correlated with the data reported earlier for other compounds, and the parameters of the fine structure of Cr3+ and Mo3+ ions have been compared. This allows to discuss certain regularities which govern the variation in the spectroscopical parameters of the ground state of similar ions in going from the 3d3 to the 4d3 configuration.
