H. Kunkely et A. Vogler, INTRAMOLECULAR OXIDATIVE ADDITION OF DIPEROXOTRIAMINECHROMIUM(IV) INDUCED BY D-SIGMA-ASTERISK METAL-TO-LIGAND CHARGE-TRANSFER EXCITATION, Inorganica Chimica Acta, 256(2), 1997, pp. 169-170
The complex Cr(IV)(O-2)(2)(NH3)(3) shows an absorption band at lambda(
max) = 390 nm which is assigned to a d sigma metal-to-ligand charge t
ransfer (MLCT) transition from Cr(IV) to the coordinated peroxide. Upo
n MLCT excitation the aqueous complex undergoes an intramolecular oxid
ative addition of peroxide to Cr(IV) leading to chromate with phi = 0.
35 at lambda(irr) = 254 nm.
