Abstract

The polarized absorption spectra of cobalt(II) in trans-CoCl₂(H₂O)₄.2H₂O provides important information about the electronic structure. Semi-empirical calculation of the crystal-field levels of the cobalt(II) with D_4h point group symmetry in CoCl₂(H₂O)₄.2H₂O are carried out, leading to a good agreement between the theoretical and experimental energy levels.

Keywords
