Abstract
The calculation of the acetylacetonate complex of copper was performed by the Wolfsberg-Helmholz method. An interpretation of the observed absorption bands in the ultraviolet (UV) and visible regions is given. It is shown that the bands at 200, 250, and 390 mµ belong to spectra with a charge transfer of the ligand-metal type; the 300 mµ band belongs to interligand transition of the π→π* type; the 560 and 670 mµ bands are associated with d-d transitions. The effective charges at the atoms and, for some transitions, the oscillator strengths, are calculated.
