Abstract
Time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) is applied to the CD spectra of Λ(δδδ)-(+)-[Co(S-pn)n(en) 3-n]3+ (n = 1, 2, 3) and Λ(δδδ)- (+)-[Co(en)3]3+ as well as the stereoisomers Δ-((δ)n(γ)3-n)-(-)-[Co(S-pn) n(en)3-n]3+ (n = 1, 2, 3) and Δ(δδδ)-(-)-[Co(en)3]3+. Theory is able to reproduce the major differences in the CD spectra of the species with a Λ-configuration and their isomers with a Δ-configuration in both the d-d and ligand-to-metal CT region. It is further possible to rationalize the trend in terms of a larger azimuthal distortion away from the octahedral geometry in the Λ-conformation compared to the Δ-configuration. Considerations were also given to the CD spectra of the lel3-isomer, Δ(γγγ)-(-)-[Rh-(R-pn)3]3+ and the ob-isomer, Λ(γγγ)-(+)-[Rh(S-pn)3] 3+.
