Abstract
The electronic spectra in ligand field (singlet and triplet) and charge transfer regions have been determined for a series of mixed carbonato and oxalato ammine complexes of Co(III). An average field model is shown to be quite adequate to complete interpretation of the spectra. The values of Δ appear to be dominated by σ bonding interactions. Full analysis of triplet bands reveals an abnormal C/B ratio which emphasizes the limitations to be placed on the interpretation of the values of parameters derived from first order perturbation theory parameterization of experimental spectra.
