Abstract
The polarized absorption spectra of cobalt(II) in trans-CoCl<sub>2</sub>(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>4</sub>.2H<sub>2</sub>O provides important information about the electronic structure. Semi-empirical calculation of the crystal-field levels of the cobalt(II) with D<sub>4h</sub> point group symmetry in CoCl<sub>2</sub>(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>4</sub>.2H<sub>2</sub>O are carried out, leading to a good agreement between the theoretical and experimental energy levels.
