LASER PHOTOCHEMISTRY. I. PARTIAL PHOTORESOLUTION OF TRIS(ACETYLACETONATO)CHROMIUM(III) AND RELATED COMPLEXES

Abstract
An argon ion laser has been used to partially phctoresolve tris(acetylacetonato)chromium(III), tris(3-nitroacetylacetonato)chromium(III), and tris(trifluoroacetylacetonato)chromium(III). The optical rotatory dispersion and the circular dichroism spectra of the optically pure enantiomers have been determined in the wavelength range of 400–650 nm.
