Abstract:
High-resolution infrared spectra of the four isotopomers of FClO(3) of C(3v) symmetry have been analyzed in order to obtain data on overtones of the nu(6) vibrational mode. For v(6)=2, two different approaches have been used. The component with l(6)=0 has been studied by the analysis of the 2nu(6)(0) parallel band at 809 cm(-1) and 779 cm(-1) for the species with (16)O and (18)O respectively. But since the 2nu(6)(-/+2) perpendicular band is too weak to be observed, the component with l(6)=+/-2 was reached through the hot band 2nu(6)(+/-2)-nu(6)(+/-1). Thereafter, the energies of the v(6)=2, l(6)=0, +/-2 states were fitted to three slightly different models. The molecular parameters obtained are highly consistent, not only between the two components, but also with v(6)=1 and moreover from one isotopomer to the other. This work is supplemented by a short vibrational analysis of the parallel hot bands 3nu(6)-2nu(6), 4nu(6)-3nu(6), 5nu(6)-4nu(6), and 6nu(6)-5nu(6) which form a regular sequence.

Stereoisomerism of Cyclic Compounds
Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can be...
Stereoisomers
Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...

Spin–Spin Coupling: Three-Bond Coupling (Vicinal Coupling)
The extent of coupling depends on the C‑C bond length, the two H‑C‑C angles, any electron-withdrawing substituents, and the dihedral angle between the involved orbitals. The...
