Abstract
The electronic spectrum of the C60Fe(CO)4 complex was studied in a toluene solution. The more intense absorption of C60Fe(CO)4 in the visible region, relative to the free C60, can be attributed to the effect of lower symmetry of the C60 fullerene cage in C60Fe(CO)4 and, thus, relaxation of selection rules for forbidden internal electronic transitions of C60. No bands of the charge transfer from 3d(Fe) to C60 orbitals were observed in the visible region of the complex spectrum. Assignment of the bands was confirmed by semiempirical calculations of the electronic spectrum.
