Abstract: | We have investigated the low frequency region of h6 and d6 polycrystalline samples of C6H6M(CO)3 by Raman and IR spectroscopies in the 5–300 K temperature range.A complete assignment of low frequency modes is reported. The torsional mode τ′z is observed at 89 cm?1 at 5 K. The intramolecular potential associated with the torsional motion has been found egal to 4.44 and 4.10 kcal.mole?1 at 5 and 120 K respectively. The intermolecular librational potential barrier (16.1 Kcal.mole?1) was deduced from the R′z librational frequency (40 cm?1). The temperature dependance of torsional mode suggests that a large amplitude motion occurs as soon as 150 K. Quasielastic neutron scattering experiments have shown that jumps of C6H6 ring take place and that the corresponding activation energy is equal to 3.9 Kcal.mole?1 (between 260 and 330 K) in agreement with the above potential barrier. The E.I.S.F. seem to favor a 2π/6 jump regime with a correlation time of 4.10?11 s at 300 K. |
