| Abstract: | The absorption spectra of Na3+ complexes have been a subject of several recent investigations.1–7 In the absorption spectra of solutions, the solvent effect makes it difficult to study the energy levels of the complexes. This difficulty can be overcome by studying the absorption spectra of single crystals or diffuse reflectance spectra of powders. Since the complexes under study do not form good single crystals, it was thought worthwhile to study their diffuse reflectance spectra, which have not been studied so far. The present communication reports a comparative study of bonding in six complexes inferred from their diffuse reflectance spectra. |
