Vibrational spectra of halomethylidynetricobalt nonacarbonyl complexes

Infrared and Raman spectra (1400-100 cm⁻¹) are reported for the metal cluster complexes (μ₃ - YC)CO₃(CO)₉; YF, Cl and Br, and vibrational assignments for the YCCo₃ groupings proposed. Approximate force fields have been calculated for these groups and the results are compared with those derived in earlier work on related systems. The unusually high frequencies attributed to carbon-halogen stretching modes in these complexes are shown to result from appreciable coupling of these modes with the symmetric CoC stretching mode.

Vibrational spectra, structure and hydrogen bonding of 5-tert-butylpyrazole and its zinc complexes

New zinc complexes [L₂ZnX₂] with X=Cl (I), Br (II), I (III) and NO₃ (IV), [L₃Zn(OClO₃)]ClO₄ (V) and [L₄Zn](ClO₄)₂ (VI) with 5-tert-butylpyrazole as ligand L were synthesized and characterized by infrared-, Raman-, mass- and NMR-spectroscopy. The assignment of the vibrational frequencies for the complexes in the range of 4000–80 cm⁻¹ is proposed. Analysis of the IR spectra in the range of ν_NH frequencies shows that 5-tert-butylpyrazole forms cyclic associates in the solid using intermolecular NHN hydrogen bonds. This was proven by a crystal structure determination, which showed that L exists as tetramers in the solid state. In solution there is an equilibrium between tetramers and monomers and, probably, dimers or trimers. In the complexes, the NH-groups of L form intramolecular H-bonds with the X-group. The intramolecular H-bond in VI has interionic character and partially dissociates in solution at high dilution. Ligand vibrations that are sensitive to the coordination and the dependence of their frequencies on the anionic group X has been revealed.     

Thermal studies of zinc and cadmium halide complexes with N-tert-alkylacrylamides

The thermal properties of complexes of N-tert-butylacrylamide and N-tert-amylacrylamide with ZnCl₂, ZnBr₂, CdCl₂ and CdBr₂ have been studied in air and in argon by TG and DTA. The decomposition proceeds in two steps with evolution of simple, low molecular weight gaseous products. The use of various heating rates revealed an additional exothermic DTA peak for complexes with zinc and cadmium chlorides corresponding to a solid state polymerization reaction which was confirmed by IR spectral analysis. This effect was not observed for corresponding complexes of zinc and cadmium bromides, which show much lower thermal stability.

Zusammenfassung Die thermischen Eigenschaften der Komplexe von N-Tertbutylacrylamid und N-Tertamylacrylamid mit ZnCl₂, ZnBr₂, CdCl₂ und CdBr₂ wurden in Luft und in Argon durch TG und DTA studiert. Die Zersetzung verläuft in zwei Stufen unter Entwicklung einfacher gasförmiger Produkte niedriges Molekulargewichts. Der Einsatz verschiedener Aufheizgeschwindigkeiten zeigte für Komplexe mit Zink- und Cadmiumchloriden einen zusätzlichen DTA Peak, der Festphasen-Polymerisationsreaktion entsprechend, welche durch IR-Spektralanalyse bestätigt wurde. Dieser Effekt wurde bei den entsprechenden Komplexen der Zink- und Cadmiumbromide, welche eine viel geringere Thermostabilität besitzen, nicht beobachtet.

Résumé On a étudié, par TG et ATD, dans l'air et l'argon, les propriétés thermiques des complexes du N-tertbutyl-acrylamide et du N-tétramylacrylamide avec ZnCl₂, ZnBr₂, CdCl₂ et CdBr₂. La décomposition s'effectue en deux étapes, avec dégagement de produits gazeux simples de faible poids moléculaire. L'application de différentes vitesses de chauffage a révélé, pour les complexes des chlorures de zinc et de cadmium, un pic exothermique additionnel en ATD qui correspond à la réaction de polymérisation dans l'état solide et qui a été confirmé par spectrométrie infrarouge. On n'a pas observé cet effet dans le cas des complexes correspondants des bromures de zinc et cadmium dont la stabilité thermique est bien plus faible.

Vibrational assignments of crystalline waters in some uranyl halide complexes

To establish the vibrational assignments of the bands near 450 and 320 cm⁻¹ in the hydrated uranyl halide complexes, M₂UO₂X₄·nH₂O (M = Na, K, Rb, Cs, NH₄; X = Cl, Br)m, their IR spectra have been measured in the region from 500 to 200 cm⁻¹ and investigated in some detail by making use of deuteration effect. The results show that the former band is evidently assigned to water libration (wagging vibration) and the latter to MO stretching vibration. Some possible structure of water coordination in the hydrated complexes is estimated on the basis of the spectral results.     

Vibrational spectra of nitrido and oxo complexes

The vibrational spectra of a number of transition-metal complexes containing terminal or bridging nitrido (N^3?) and oxo (O^2?) ligands are reported. Full assignments of fundamental modes are given for (OsO₃¹⁴N)^?, (OsO₃¹⁵N)^?, (Os¹⁴NX₄)^?, (Os¹⁵NX₄)^?, (Ru¹⁴NX₄)^?, (Os¹⁴NX₅)^2?, (Os¹⁵NX₅)^2? and (Ru¹⁴NX₅)^2? (X = Cl, Br), and also for the oxo complexes (Mo¹⁶OCl₄, (Mo¹⁸OCl₄)^?, (Mo¹⁶OCl₅)^2? and (Mo¹⁸OCl₅)^2?. Force constants have been evaluated for the four- and five-coordinate complexes. The significance of the results is discussed in terms of the metalligand bonding involved in these species.     

Vibrational spectra of iodine and bromine thiourea complexes

The vibrational spectra of iodine and bromine thiourea charge transfer complexes in the solid state were obtained. The Raman spectrum shows a very strong band at 215 and 255 cm⁻¹, for the iodine and bromine complex respectively.In the case of iodine, the vibrational spectrum can be interpreted on the basis of the structure proposed by the X-ray study. The data obtained in the present investigation, strongly suggest that the bromine complex has a similar structure, albeit smaller stability.     

Vibrational spectra of AuF5 complexes with nitrogen fluorides and oxofluorides

Vibrational spectra and structural features of AuF₅ complexes with nitrogen fluorides (NF₃, N₂F₄) and oxofluorides (FNO, NF₃O) are investigated. Vibrational frequency assignment in the solid phase and in solution of anhydrous HF was made. Distinctive features of vibrational spectra of X⁺AuF₆ ^? (X = NF₄ ⁺, N₂F₃ ⁺, NO⁺, NOF₂ ⁺) related to structural transformations of cations and hexafluoroaurate anion due to the influence of the crystal field and cation-anion interactions are discussed.     

Vibrational spectra and structure of thiolatomercury(II) complexes

Vibrational spectra of the Ga(III) complexes with oxine and clioquinol

The FTIR and FT-Raman spectra of the gallium(III) complexes of 8-hydroxyquinoline (oxine) and 5-chloro-7-iodo-8-hydroxyquinoline (clioquinol), were recorded and briefly discussed by comparison with the spectra of the uncoordinated ligands and with some related species.     

Vibrational spectra and structure of complexes containing the hydrogen dinitrate ion

Infrared and Raman spectra of solid hydrogen dinitrate complexes with K⁺, Rb⁺, Cs⁺, (CH₃)₄N⁺, trans-(Co py₄Cl₂)⁺, Ph₄As⁺, Ph₄P⁺, (C₂H₅)₄N⁺ and (C₄H₉)N⁺ have been recorded and analyzed. The assignments were assisted by deuteration and, in the case of the Cs⁺, (CH₃)₄N⁺, and Ph₄As⁺ complexes, by ¹⁵N substitution. Infrared spectra at 50 kbar of the (CH₃)₄N⁺ complex were also recorded. The salient features of the i.r. spectra are the lack of fundamental OH bands above 1800 cm⁻¹ and the appearance of a strong absorption centered at about 600 cm⁻¹, both indicating very strong hydrogen bonding. The i.r. and Raman spectra permit the differentiation between the planar and nonplanar types of the hydrogen dinitrate ion.

Intermolecular potential energy surface and spectra of He-HCl with generalization to other rare gas-hydrogen halide complexes

A two-dimensional (rigid monomer) intermolecular potential energy surface (PES) of the He-HCl complex has been obtained from ab initio calculations utilizing the symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) and an spdfg basis set including midbond functions. The bond length in HCl was chosen to be equal to the expectation value in the ground vibrational state of isolated HCl. The rigid-monomer potential should be a very good approximation to the complete (three-dimensional) potential for H-Cl distances corresponding to the lowest vibrational levels of the monomer since the He-HCl interaction energy was found to be only weakly dependent on the HCl bond length in this region, at least as compared to systems such as Ar-HF. The calculated points were fitted using an analytic function with ab initio computed asymptotic coefficients. As expected, the complex is loosely bound, with the dispersion energy providing the majority of the attraction. Our SAPT PES agrees with the semiempirical PES of Willey et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 96, 898 (1992)], in finding that, atypically for rare gas-hydrogen halide complexes including the lighter halide atoms, the global minimum is on the Cl side (with intermonomer separation 3.35 A and depth of 32.8 cm(-1)), rather than on the H side, where there is only a local minimum (3.85 A, 30.8 cm(-1)). The ordering of the minima was confirmed by single-point calculations in larger basis sets and complete basis set extrapolations, and also using higher levels of theory. We show that the opposite findings in the recent calculations of Zhang and Shi [J. Mol. Struct: THEOCHEM 589, 89 (2002)] are due to the lack of midbond functions in their basis set. Despite the closeness in depth of the two linear minima, the existence of a relatively high barrier between them invalidates the assumption of isotropy, a feature of some literature potentials. The trends concerning the locations of minima within the family of rare gas-hydrogen halide complexes are rationalized in terms of the physical components of the intermolecular forces and related to monomer properties. The accuracy of the SAPT PES was tested by performing calculations of rovibrational levels. The transition frequencies obtained were found to be in excellent agreement (to within 0.02 cm(-1)) with the measurements of Lovejoy and Nesbitt [J. Chem. Phys. 93, 5387 (1990)]. The SAPT PES predicts a dissociation energy for the complex of 7.74 cm(-1) which is probably more accurate than the experimental value of 10.1+/-1.2 cm(-1). Our analysis of the ground-state rovibrational wave function shows that the He-HCl configuration is favored over the He-ClH configuration despite the ordering of minima. This is due to the greater volume of the well in the former case. We have also determined positions and widths of three low-lying resonance states through scattering calculations. These predictions are expected to be more accurate than values derived from experiment.     

Meso-trans-diaryldihexadecyltetrabenzoporphyrins and their zinc complexes: Synthesis and spectra

3-[(1-Oxo-1H-isoindol-3-yl)(phenyl)methylidene]-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindol-1-one, 3-[(1-oxo-1H-isoindol-3-yl)(1-naphthyl)methylidene]-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindol-1-one, and 3-[(1-oxo-1H-isoindol-3-yl)(9-anthryl)methylidene]-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindol-1-one were prepared by the reactions of phthalimide with phenylacetic, 1-naphthylacetic, and 9-anthrylacetic acids, respectively. Heating of these precursors with stearic acid in the presence of zinc oxide yielded zinc complexes of meso-trans-diphenyldihexadecyltetrabenzoporphyrin, meso-trans-di(1-naphthyl)dihexadecyltetrabenzoporphyrin, and meso-trans-di(9-anthryl)dihexadecyltetrabenzoporphyrin, respectively. Treatment of the metal complexes with HCl yielded the porphyrin bases. The spectral properties of the compounds were studied.     

Vibrational spectra of the charge transfer complexes between organic sulfides and iodine

I.r. spectra of the charge transfer complexes between nine organic sulfides (as well as diethylselenide) with iodine were recorded between 1500 and 400 cm⁻¹ in CS₂ and CCl₄ solutions and in the region 600-50 cm⁻¹ in C₆H₁₂ and C₆H₆ solutions. Raman spectra of the complexes were recorded below 600 cm⁻¹. For each system, i.r. and Raman bands in the 200-160 cm⁻¹ were assigned to the II stretching mode of the complex. Additional i.r. bands below 160 cm⁻¹, absent in Raman, were ascribed to intermolecular SI stretching vibrations. The integral intensities of these bands were determined and correlated with the thermodynamic functions. Some Raman active fundamentals of 1,4-dithiane became i.r. active in the iodine complex in accordance with a break down of the C₂h symmetry. A force constant calculation was carried out for the dimethylsulfide-iodine complex and simplified calculations of the three point mass models were made for all the systems.
