Spectra of Tetrahedral Inorganic Complexes

Abstract

IN the course of work on the spectra of tetrahedral inorganic complexes we have obtained two important types of information, both of which are specially significant for the interpretation of the physical properties of these complexes. The first is the magnitude of the ligand field appropriate to these complexes, and the second is the nature of the inorganic complex–solvent interactions.
