From a consideration of odd-even intramolecular electron transfer processes in octahedrally co-ordinated transition metal complexes, two relationships have been derived. The first correlation describes 71 —> y3 optical electron transfer bands of the complexes K20sC l6 , K2IrCl6 , K2PtCl6 , K2PtCl4 as a function of the respective 35C1 nuclear quadrupole coupling constants. The second rela tions...
