EPR spectra are reported of V 2+ , Mn 2+ , and Co 2+ in CdI 2 and PbI 2 single crystals. The g ‐values of V 2+ are strongly affected by covalent mixing of metal 3d with iodine 5p orbitals. The ligand hyperfine interaction is different for Mn substituted in CdI 2 and PbI 2 , respectively. The change is attributed to a different covalent bonding in the two lattices due to the local distortion of the MnI 6 octahedra. The temperature dependence of the zero‐field splitting of Mn 2+ is explained in terms of the anisotropy of the nuclear vibrations.
