Diamagnetic correction calculation for Jeff in [co(ox)3]4-
Accepted Answer
Diamagnetic correction is a factor used in magnetic susceptibility measurements to account for the diamagnetic contributions of all the atoms in a molecule. This is particularly important for determining the spin-only magnetic moment of transition metal complexes like [Co(ox)3]4-, where paramagnetic behavior is expected.
To calculate the diamagnetic correction for [Co(ox)3]4-, you'd need to sum the individual atomic diamagnetic susceptibilities of all the atoms in the complex. This would involve looking up the diamagnetic susceptibilities of cobalt, oxygen, and carbon atoms in a standard reference like the Pascal's constants table.
