Abstract
Solid-state circular dichroism spectra of some tris(diamine) cobalt(III) complexes were measured. Each CD band region was decomposed into E and A2 components by combining the CD spectra in uniaxial single-crystals and in microcrystalline states. The observed values of R(E) and R(A2) were compared with the theoretical calculation of Mason and Seal based on dynamic coupling method. The agreements are generally good for those complexes with five-membered chelate rings, however, there are some discrepancies for six- and seven-membered chelate ring cases.
