ELECTRONIC RAMAN BANDS IN POTASSIUM FERRICYANIDE

Abstract In the Raman spectrum of potassium ferricyanide several new bands were found at low temperatures. The Raman bands at 665 cm−1 and 840 cm−1 are assigned to the electronic transitions within a ground state manifold of a low-spin Fe3+ ion and that at 935 cm−1 is attributed to a vibronic transition.
