Abstract

The cobalt K absorption spectrum has been studied in thiomalic acid complex of cobalt using a bent crystal X-ray spectrograph. It has been observed that the position of the absorption discontinuity taken with the freshly prepared complex differs from that of the discontinuity obtained with the complex kept in air for about 24 hours. It has been shown that this shift of the absorption edge is due to the change in valency of cobalt in the complex. The shape of the absorption discontinuity has revealed that the complex has an octahedral structure with the hybridizationsp 3 d 2. On the molecular orbital theory the electronic configuration in this complex can be described asa Emphasis>21g t Emphasis>61u e Emphasis>4 g t Emphasis>42g e Emphasis>*2 g .
