Abstract
The overtone of the v(2) vibrational mode in Cr(CO)(6) are observed fo r the first time in cyclohexane and methanol at both the 266 and 213 n m excitations. The appearance of the overtones due to the displacement of the electronic excited state with respect to the ground state alon g the v(2) vibrational mode is interpreted in terms of wavepacket conc ept and molecular orbital (MO) theory. Our Raman results suggest a new interpretation for the excited state potential.
