Evidence for a second photoactive excited state in a tris(β-diketonate)chromium(III) complex
Abstract
Photolysis of trans-tris(1,1,1-trifluoropentane-2,4-dionato)chromium(III) in nonaqueous solvents induces both geometrical isomerization and decomposition, with the quantum efficiency of the latter pathway exhibiting an appreciable solvent dependence.
