  abstract = 	{This PhD thesis deals with the spectroscopic characterization of the electronic structures of mononuclear manganese and molybdenum complexes. At this, in addition to UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectroscopy were applied in this work. Additionally, new procedures for the general analysis of MCD C-term intensities were developed within the scope of this thesis. It is divided into four parts.
Following a general procedure for the determination of MCD intensities and signs, the MCD spectrum of a molybdenum(V) complex was analyzed in the first part. Theoretical expressions were derived for the observed transitions.
In the second part, a series of manganese(III) complexes was studied by UV/Vis, EPR and MCD spectroscopy. Here, especially the influence of the variation of the ligand field strength was analyzed.
The electronic transitions of a series of molybdenum(III) halogenido complexes were analyzed by UV/Vis spectroscopy in the third part. Molecular orbitals and electronic transitions were computed by (time-dependent) DFT.
In the last part, the EPR spectra of molybdenum(III) and -(V) complexes were used as test spectra for spectral simulations using the XSophe simulation software suite.},
