Visible spectra of some chloropentakis(alkylamine)‐cobalt(III) complexes

Abstract

All four spin‐allowed transitions in the visible spectra of the complexes [Co(RNH2)5Cl]2+, R = H, Me, Et, n‐Pr, and n‐Bu, have been resolved and the relevant crystal field and RACAH parameters determined with a method previously described. The results appear to be consistent within the series and agree well with those reported in the literature for structurally related systems.
