Journal Highlight: Refining the interpretation of near-infrared band shapes in a polyynediyl molecular wire
Date: Aug 5, 2013
Author: spectroscopyNOW
The near-IR spectrum of a ruthenium-diyne complex, which serves as a model for the linear carbon allotrope carbyne, has been reexamined to show that the presence of rotamers is a crucial variable that may influence the appearance of the intervalence charge transfer band and the underlying electronic structure.
