Abstract
In the preceding chapter it was shown how the hyperfine interactions in a Mössbauer spectrum contain information about the immediate electronic environment of the resonant nucleus. In particular, they can be related to the geometrical symmetry and to the nature of the chemical bonding involved. For example, a change in the formal oxidation state of the resonant nucleus (removal or addition of a valence electron) may be expected to result in a change in the s-electron density at the nucleus and thence in the chemical isomer shift. The remaining chapters of this book are therefore concerned with various aspects of the chemical application of Mössbauer spectroscopy. In this chapter, some examples of its use to determine molecular structure, i. e. the geometrical disposition of atoms in a compound, are discussed. The study of electronic structure and the way in which these atoms are chemically bonded is deferred until the following chapter.
