Effect of the extent of reduction of naphthalene↭d phenanthrene-cyclopentadienyl iron complexes on their electronic absorption spectra

Conclusions The unequivocal correspondence of the extent of reduction of naphthalene-cyclopentadienyl and phenanthrene-cyclopentadienyl iron complexes with changes in the region for the d-d transitions in their electronic absorption spectra was established experimentally, indicating localization of the outer electrons on the Fe atom.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimieheskaya, No. 2, pp. 482–485, February, 1985.
