Carbonyl derivatives, infrared spectra

The mixed-metal tetranuclear derivatives that have been prepared are H2Re2Ru2(CO)i6, CReRu3(CO)16] , HMnOs3(CO)16, and HReOs3(CO)18 (238). All the complexes result from the reaction of the carbonyl, M3(CO)i2, with the related anion, [Mn(CO)5]- or [Re(CO)s]. The ruthenium anion [ReRu3(CO)16] was isolated as its tetramethylammo-nium salt. The infrared spectrum was complex, but consistent with... 

The second binuclear complex [Fe2(CO)7(C8H8)] is a black solid, and appears to be a derivative of Fe2(CO)9, as it shows bands due to bridging carbonyl groups in its infrared spectrum (152). 

With these compounds the presence of the halogen will have been detected in the tests for elements. Most acid halides undergo ready hydrolysis with water to give an acidic solution and the halide ion produced may be detected and confirmed with silver nitrate solution. The characteristic carbonyl adsorption at about 1800 cm -1 in the infrared spectrum will be apparent. Acid chlorides may be converted into esters as a confirmatory test to 1 ml of absolute ethanol in a dry test tube add 1 ml of the acid chloride dropwise (use a dropper pipette keep the mixture cool and note whether any hydrogen chloride gas is evolved). Pour into 2 ml of saturated salt solution and observe the formation of an upper layer of ester note the odour of the ester. Acid chlorides are normally characterised by direct conversion into carboxylic acid derivatives (e.g. substituted amides) or into the carboxylic acid if the latter is a solid (see Section 9.6.16, p. 1265). 

The simpler examples are readily hydrolysed in aqueous solution, and therefore react with sodium hydrogen carbonate and also give the ester test they may be confirmed by applying the hydroxamic ester test (Section 9.5.3, p. 1222). Carbonyl adsorption is apparent in the infrared spectrum at about 1820 cm-1 and at about 1760cm-1. It should be noted that aromatic anhydrides and higher aliphatic anhydrides are not readily hydrolysed with water and are therefore effectively neutral (Section 9.5.3, p. 1218). The final characterisation of the acid anhydride is achieved by conversion into a crystalline carboxylic acid derivative as for add halides. 

The carbonyl frequency in the infrared spectrum provides a fairly characteristic method for differentiating between 1,4- and 1,5-lactones of aldonic acids. With few exceptions, the absorptions are in the range 1790-1765 and 1760 to 1725 cm-1, respectively.69 Configurational and conformational conclusions have been drawn from H and 13C NMR spectroscopy of aldonic acids and aldonolactones, using different correlation methods, enriched compounds, and shift reagents. For example, the solution conformation of aldono-1,4-lactones enriched with 13C at C-l have been determined on the basis of the coupling constants (homo and heteronuclear). In general, 0-2 is oriented quasi-equatorially due to stereoelectronic factors.36 Similar conclusions were made by Horton and Walaszek, who described the conformation of pentono- 1,4-lactones as an equilibrium between the 3E and forms.70 Conformations of D-hexono-1,4-lactones in solution have also been studied by NMR spectroscopy.70a The solution equilibrium of protected derivatives and their conformations have been described.71...

Interaction of C02 with petroleum ether solutions of cis-Mo(N2)2 (PMe3)4 results in the formation of the pale yellow complex trans-Mo (C03) (PMe3)4 and of variable amounts of the carbonyl-carbonate derivatives Mo(C03) CO(PMe3)4 and Mo(C03) CO(PMe3)3 2. The yellow complex is a micro-crystalline, moderately air stable solid, which can be heated at 40-50°C for several hours without noticeable decomposition. Its infrared spectrum displays bands at 1670, 1155 and 1100 cnr1, which by comparison with the spectrum of a sample 50% enriched in C02 can be assigned to vibrations associated with the coordinated C02 molecules, but no conclusions as to the coordination mode of the C02 ligand can be inferred from this data. 

Different types of carbonyl groups give characteristic strong absorptions at different positions in the infrared spectrum. As a result, infrared spectroscopy is often the best method to detect and differentiate these carboxylic acid derivatives. Table 21-3 summarizes the characteristic IR absorptions of carbonyl functional groups. As in Chapter 12, we are using about 1710 cm-1 for simple ketones and acids as a standard for comparison. Appendix 2 gives a more complete table of characteristic IR frequencies. 

Direct alkylation of 1,3,4 thiadiazolinones seems to give the i -alkyl derivatives (97). Thus, 2,2 -azo-1,3,4-thiadiazolin-5(4)-one was benzylated with benzyl chloride in alkaline medium to give 2,2 -azo-4,4 -dibenzyl-l,3,4-thiadiazolin-5(4)-one (98). The presence of carbonyl groups in 98 is demonstrated by a strong carbonyl absorption band in the infrared spectrum. 

For certain carbonyl compounds, there is no clear correlation between the structure in solution, as suggested by the infrared spectrum, and the solid state structure determined by X-ray analysis. The structure of the derivative Co4(CO)i2 in the solid state has been determined from X-ray data (90, SOS) and is shown in Fig. 1(a). The molecule belongs... 

The infrared spectra of certain polynuclear carbonyl derivatives in solution contain more CO-stretching frequencies than would be expected on the basis of symmetry considerations. Such an effect has been attributed to the presence of more than one isomer in solution. Thus, eleven terminal and two bridging CO-stretching frequencies were observed in the infrared spectrum of the compound Co2(CO)g in solution (47, 246). At low resolution, not all these bands were observed, and consequently initial structure determinations were incorrect (54, 74, 99,148). Bor used... 

Oxidation of the o-fructose derivative (73) with lead tetraacetate gave a crystalline dialdehyde which showed no carbonyl absorption in the infrared spectrum, and to which structure (74) was assigned. Reaction with... 

There are very few experimentally-recorded spectroscopic data for COBrF, and only one publication [1596] exists in which the spectroscopic properties of COBrF have been studied for their own sake. Apart from the recording of a F n.m.r. spectrum and a mass spectrum [1163], the remaining spectroscopic studies of COBrF have been confined to the recording of its infrared spectrum [1596], and to the derivation of spectroscopic correlations with other members of the carbonyl halide series [604,864,1860],...
