In sodium chloride crystals doped with both CN - and Mn 2+ the CN - and Mn 2+ are found to be associated. A Mn 2+ vacancy dipole associated with CN - is the centre responsible for Spectrum IV (Watkins) in the esr spectrum of NaCl.Mn 2+ . The 'trimer' lines previously reported are not due to Mn 2+ vacancy trimers but are found when CN - is added to the system. The effect of CN - on the dielectric properties and aggregation of Mn 2+ in NaCl.Mn 2+ has been investigated.
