Molar coefficients of extinction for IR absorption bands of Ni(II) acetylacetonate, ketoiminate, and trifluoroacetylacetonate

We have studied IR absorption spectra (within the spectral range of 4000-200 cm⁻¹ of the intracomplex chelate compounds Ni(II) bis-acetylacetonate, Ni(II) bis-ketoiminate, and Ni(II) bis-trifluoroacetylacetonate and have given a full interpretation and comparison of the spectra of these compounds in dissolved and solid states. The reasons for the differences in the spectra are discussed. The molar coefficients of extinction for the absorption bands are calculated.
