Polarized Optical Absorption Studies on Copper and Silver Diethyldithiocarbamates

Abstract

Polarized optical absorption measurements are reported for bis(N,N-diethyldithiocarbamato)copper(II) and -silver(II) diluted in the corresponding zinc complex. The measurements have been made at room, liquid nitrogen, and helium temperatures. The results for the copper complex are at variance with those reported earlier by Reddy and Srinivasan. The electronic transition energies are used in conjunction with the previously reported spin-Hamiltonian parameters to derive the molecular orbital coefficients for the two complexes. © 1976, American Chemical Society.
