Mononuclear transition metal complexes are a tunable platform with which to test the impact of specific aspects of local environment on the magnetic properties of metal ions. Such fundamental knowledge underlies the development of such species as spin qubits and magnetic sensors for magnetic resonance imaging. In this talk, we will discuss our recent investigations of vanadium(IV) complexes via pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance. In particular, we will discuss the role of specific classes of environmental nuclear spins on the properties of a V(IV) spin. Our method of installing new sources of nuclear spins is fundamentally chemical - through the use of different functional groups. In this manner, synthetic inorganic chemistry can be used to derive key fundamental insight. This talk will cover that insight.
