[Infrared and Raman spectra studies on isomultinuclear organometallic carbyne compounds]
1State Key Laboratory of Rare Earth Material Chemistry and Applications, Department of Chemistry, Peking University, 100871 Beijing.
Abstract:
The infrared and Raman spectra of five isomultinuclear organometallic carbyne compounds were studied. The results show that the introduction of N atom from TMEDA or P atom from DPPE to W atom (both N and P are strong sigma-donor and weak pi-acceptor) will decrease the bonding intensity of W identical to C. The pressure tunning IR and Raman spectra of compound III indicate the presence of pressure-induced phase-transition near 20 kbar in it. There are two effects on the nu (W identical to C) of this compound with increasing pressure: the normal increasing the nu (W identical to C) wavenumber due to the shorting W identical to C bond and increasing the W-CO pi backbonding to decrease the nu (W identical to C) wavenumber.

However, the stretching absorptions for the C=O bond vary depending on the structure of carboxylic acids. The C=O bond of the free carboxylic acids shows a higher stretching frequency, 1760 cm−1, while H-bonded carboxylic acids (dimers) exhibit stretching absorptions at a lower frequency, 1710 cm−1. The C=O bond of the...
