D. Spichiger et al., Electronic Raman transitions from the vanadium(III) hexa-aqua cation, in guanidinium vanadium sulphate, CHEM P LETT, 337(4-6), 2001, pp. 391-397
Electronic Raman transitions ((3)A --> E-3(C-3)) have been observed between
the trigonally split components of the T-3(1g)(O-h) ground term of the van
adium(III) hexa-aqua cation in guanidinium vanadium sulphate hexa-hydrate.
The magnitude of the trigonal field splitting is considerable, similar to 2
720 cm(-1), which is consistent with expectations based on the stereochemis
try of the [V(OH2)(6)](3+) complex. It is shown that a satisfactory reprodu
ction of the electronic Raman band profile can be obtained only by assuming
a ((3)A circle plus E-3) circle times e vibronic coupling model. (C) 2001
