Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/j100408a019

The electronic absorption and resonance Raman spectra of the reduction products of some tris(5,5'-substituted bipyridine) complexes of iron and osmium provide "model" behavior for single-ligand localized redox orbitals.While the electron-withdrawing natur
