Determine the diamagnetic correction calculation
Accepted Answer
Diamagnetic correction is used in magnetic susceptibility measurements to account for the small, negative contribution of electron pairs in closed shells. The calculation involves adding a constant value to the measured magnetic susceptibility, which depends on the specific element and its oxidation state. The diamagnetic correction is usually a small value compared to the paramagnetic contribution and is often neglected. To get a more accurate measurement, a diamagnetic correction should be applied, but it is beyond the scope of this response. For more detail, consult a textbook on magnetism or magnetic susceptibility.
