8. Italics denote bands from the dcbipy ligand.
9. The Raman spectrum was taken using many different excitation wavelengths. The best results were attained by using the green argon line at 514.5 nm. Since the absorption maximum of the complex lies at 521 nm, we are very near resonance Raman conditions.
