Ligand field photochemistry of d6 complexes. High yield photoaquation mode in Co(NH3)5N32+
Abstract
Irradiation of the 520 nm d-d absorption band of Co(NH3)5N32+ has been found to result in relatively high (ϕ≃ 0·2) yields of ammonia aquation with no other primary photoprocess detectable; this contrasts to what is commonly considered to be the general pattern of cobalt(III) photochemistry.
