A comparison between theoretical and experimental
results for the photoelectron intensity and circular
dichroism is reported for the valence electron states of
the metal complex D-Cobalt(III) tris-acetylacetonate. The
measured intensities of the valence features and their
dichroic behaviour are reproduced in the time dependent
density functional theory (TDDFT) framework. The satisfactory
agreement between theoretical and experimental
results in the photon energy range 15–29 eV proves that
the TDDFT procedure is suitable for describing electronic
processes and circular dichroism.
