A hexadecadal rule for relating the configuration and optical activity of dissymmetric tetragonal cobalt(III) complexes
Abstract
The absolute configuration and c.d. of trans-bisdiamine cobalt(III) complexes indicate that optical activity associated with the components of the A1gāT1g(Oh) transition is governed by a hexadecadal rule which has the symmetry properties of a pseudo-scalar potential in the group D4h.
