Description
Summary:<p>I. The infra-red and Raman spectra of Mn(CO)<sub>5</sub>Br as both solid and CH<sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>2</sub> solution from 50 to 2150 cm<sup>-1</sup> are presented for the normal isotopic compound, and the <sup>13</sup>CO and C<sup>18</sup>O substituted molecules. The observed bands are assigned, and the force constants and compliance constants of a general quadratic potential field are calculated using the FG method of Wilson, Decius, and Cross.</p> <p>II. The infra-red and Raman spectra of both Mn<sub>2</sub>(<sup>12</sup>CO)<sub>10</sub> and Mn<sub>2</sub>(<sup>13</sup>CO)<sub>10</sub> as solids and in CH<sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>2</sub> solutions from 50 to 2150 cm<sup>-1</sup> are presented and are assigned. Potential constants are calculated using values transferred from the Mn(CO)<sub>5</sub>Br calculations. Special attention is paid to splitting interactions across the Mn--Mn bond and to the Mn--Mn stretching potential constants.</p> <p>III. Raman intensities and the electronic absorption spectrum of M(CO)<sub>5</sub>X<sup>n-</sup> compounds are presented and discussed.</p>
