Abstract:
Some new Hofmann type complexes with chemical formula of M(4 pypp)(2)Ni(CN)(4) (where 4 py pp=4-(1-pyrrolidinyl)piperidine and MNi or Co) were prepared and their FT-IR and Raman spectra were reported in the region of 4000-200 cm(-1) and 4000-100 cm(-1), respectively. The ligand molecule, polymeric sheet and metal-ligand bands of the compounds were assigned in detail. Vibrational spectra together with assignments of 4 pypp (C(9)H(18)N(2)) were experimentally and theoretically studied in the region of 400-100 cm(-1). Normal mode frequencies and corresponding vibrational assignments of Ni(CN)(4)(2-) were theoretically examined by standard quantum chemical technique. Reliable vibrational assignments were made on the basis of potential energy distribution (PED) analysis. The results suggest that these compounds are similar in structure to the Hofmann type complexes and the 4 phpy ligand molecule bonds to the metal (M) atom of |M-Ni(CN)(4)|(∞) polymeric layers.

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light.
