Absolute Integrated Intensities

As a means of comparing the absolute integrated intensities of the carbonyl stretching vibrations of a wide range of complexes of varying molecular symmetries and of differing numbers of carbonyl groups, Noack 109) used the specific intensity of each compound. This is defined as the intensity 

As Beck and Nitzmann(74) observed, the specific intensities of the species V(CO)g , Cr(CO)g, and Mn(CO)6, which are, respectively, 947, 610 and 252 X 10 liter mole cm as measured in tetrahydrofuran, show a rather striking linear dependence upon the formal oxidation state of the control metal atom. The same trend also occurs for the species W(CO)6 and Re(CO)6 , and it is taken to indicate the availability of the d metal electron density. In fact, there is now a considerable body of data available to support the general conclusion that the intensities of the carbonyl stretching vibrations of an isoelectronic and isostructural series of derivatives increase steadily from cations through neutral molecules to anions. For examples, compare the following pairs of species Ni(CO)4, Co(CO)4- (Table I) M(CO)5X, M (CO)sX- (Table II) w-M(CO)4X2, cw-M (CO)4X2 (Table III) and less rigorously M2(CO),o, HM2 (CO),o (Table VII). Beck and Nitzmann also concluded that the effect on intensities on going from a less polar to a more polar solvent increased from cation

In this circumstance, it is more reliable to measure the absolute integrated intensity of the substrate peak and compare this with the integrated intensity from an equivalent crystal of the substrate material on which no layer has been grown. In the angular position for diffraction from the substrate, the layer will not diffract and the substrate peak intensity will be simply reduced by normal photoelectric absorption. For a symmetric reflection, it is easy to see that the integrated intensity 1 of the substrate peak with the layer of thickness t present is related to the integrated intensity of the bare substrate / o by... 

Further thermodynamic data,10 absolute integrated intensities for the i.r. absorption bands,11 and more Raman data12 have been presented for Cr(CO)6. Core13 and valence region14 photoelectron spectra have been determined for Cr(CO)6 and discussed on the basis of MO data. Examination of the reaction products of Cr atoms with CO at 4.2—10K has established the existence of a Cr(CO)5 species having a D3h, trigonal-bipyramidal stereochemistry. The data obtained using pure... 

Finally some general, practical, but simple, points are well worth attention for studies of transition metal carbonyl derivatives. For optimizing the accuracy of absolute integrated intensities, great care must be taken to minimize errors arising from weighing of the sample, from sample and solvent impurities, and from solvent evaporation. 

Absolute integrated intensities given in all tables are in practical units 109, 125), whereas it must be noted that A as defined in the text [Eq. (8)] is the Ramsay and Jones unit. Conversion factors interrelating some of the various commonly used units of intensity to practical units are to be found in Table VIII.

The absolute integrated intensities, scattered by an aluminum alloy at 4.4% Zn, allows to deduce the variation of fz with a good accuracy. 

Other shows two bands of equal intensity at 2l0i and 2085 cm . However, their structural difTerences are unknown. Darensbourg obtained a linear relalionship between p(N=N) and the absolute integrated intensity in a series of molecular nitrogen compounds. 

Tables of K values have been computed by Jones, Ramsey, Herling, and Dobriner J.A.C.S, 74, 2828, 1952) and extended tables have been developed by Sandorfy Spectrochim. Acta 16, 335, 1960). The Sandorfy equation yields absolute integrated intensities of absorption bands if proper slit widths and scan times are used.

An absolute integrated intensity of 1880(290) cmatm" at STP was determined for the Vi band of N2H using the technique of direct laser absorption spectroscopy in fast ion beams. This value [37] supersedes a previous value determined in the same laboratory [38]. Higher values were predicted by high-quality ab initio calculations, CEPA-1 [36] and Ci-SDQ [39]. Integrated Intensities for the V2 [39] and V3 [36, 39] bands of N2H, for the Vi and V3 bands of N2D [36], and for bands from overtones and combinations of the v, and V3 fundamentals of N2H (N2D ) were also predicted in the ab initio calculations [36, 39]. The V3 band was predicted to be about 140 times weaker than the v, band [36], and the V2 band to be about five times weaker than the band [39].
