Abstract

A systematic method of obtaining relative signs of hyperfine coupling constants is described. It applies to systems consisting of (a) a set of one or more nuclei coupled fairly strongly to the electron spin, and possessing a two-fold (or higher) axis of symmetry, together with (b) a set of weakly coupled nuclei defining superhyperfine transitions. ENDOR measurements for several E.P.R. hyperfine transitions, with the field oriented along the symmetry axis, give relative signs of hyperfine components for this direction. Signs for the other directions can then be obtained through ENDOR measurements on a single hyperfine transition at various field orientations. Additional double ENDOR measurements may be necessary for very weakly coupled nuclei. This method can complement double ENDOR studies in favourable cases. It is illustrated by the determination of signs of coupling constants of protons and of 75As in the AsO44- radical in KH2AsO4.
