Induced Circular Dichroism Spectra of Cobalt(III) Complexes in a Chiral Medium Containing (+)589-Diethyl Tartrate

Abstract
The induced circular dichroism (CD) spectra of 21 achiral or racemic cobalt(III) complexes have been measured in a chiral medium containing (+)589-diethyl tartrate in the region of the first d-d transition bands. The absolute value of the molar circular dichroism (Δε) observed for these complexes is in the range of about 0.04–0.3 cm−1 mol−1 dm3. The induced CD spectra of the racemic complexes show a different pattern from the natural CD spectra of their resolved enantiomers. The observed induced CD spectra have been discussed in relation to the stereochemistry of the complexes.
