Electronic structure and optical properties of dichlorodioxomanganese(VI)

Abstract

The electronic absorption spectrum of gaseous dichlorodioxomanganese(VI) has been measured in the energy region from 25 000 to 51 500 cm^–1. The ground state energy levels and transition state energies have been calculated by the self-consistent field multiple scattering Xα method. Assignment of the charge transfer electronic transitions was made assuming a molecular symmetry of C_2v. Good agreement between the optical spectrum and calculated results is observed.
