<jats:p>ESR intensities and linewidths at X band and linewidths at Q band of [Cr(H2O)6]3+ and [Fe(H2O)6]3+ in water-glycerol mixtures are reported. At X band the linewidth increases with glycerol concentration and there is a concommitant decrease in the integrated intensity of the ESR line. The linewidth at Q band is independent of the glycerol content of the solvent. The results are interpreted in terms of the general theory of electronic relaxation. It is shown that the dominant electronic relaxation in solutions of Cr3+ and Fe3+ hydrates is due to modulation of the zero-field splitting interaction. This interaction and its time dependence result from collisions of the hydrated complex with solvent molecules. Using equations derived for relaxation by rotational tumbling, a correlation time of about 5 × 10−12 sec in water is found for both complexes. The decrease in the integrated intensity with increasing viscosity at X band is due to the smearing out of all but the 12 → − 12 transitions. At Q band the Cr3+ resonance is essentially the 12 → − 12 transition even in the aqueous solution. Linewidths for a number of other Cr3+ complexes are reported and discussed.</jats:p>
