Abstract: | The infrared and Raman spectra of the NH(4)(+), K(+), and Cs(+) salts of N(NO(2))(2)(-) in the solid state and in solution have been measured and are assigned with the help of ab initio calculations at the HF/6-31G and MP2/6-31+G levels of theory. In agreement with the variations observed in the crystal structures, the vibrational spectra of the N(NO(2))(2)(-) anion are also strongly influenced by the counterions and the physical state. Whereas the ab initio calculations for the free N(NO(2))(2)(-) ion indicate a minimum energy structure of C(2) symmetry, Raman polarization measurements on solutions of the N(NO(2))(2)(-) anion suggest point group C(1) (i.e., no symmetry). This is attributed to the very small (<3 kcal/mol) N-NO(2) rotational barrier in N(NO(2))(2)(-) which allows for easy deformation. |
