Difference IR spectrum

As has already been discussed (Section m.B.3) we were able to demonstrate that the three C3H2 isomers cyclopropenylidene (2), propargylene (36), and vinylidenecarbene (37), interconvert photochemically in low-temperature matrices. Unlike 36 vinylidenecarbene (37) was predicted to be a singlet.108-110 To aid the spectroscopic identification of S-37 we calculated (MP2/6-31G ) IR frequencies and intensities of this species.26 Comparison with the experimental IR spectrum (most intense band at 1952 cm-1) confirmed the allenic structure S-37. For T-37 a completely different IR spectrum was expected. An additional structural proof for S-37 was its reversible transformation into the other two C3H2 isomers S-2 and T-36.

The representative difference IR spectrum displayed in Figure 6.14a for one of the experiments with HRh(33)("CO)2 (37-"CO) clearly shows the conversion of the "CO labeled complex to its CO analogue 37- CO. In the IR spectrum, only the ee complex isomer is visible (vide supra). The exponential decay of the intensity of the carbonyl absorption at 1948 cm" with time is displayed in Figure 6.14c. The negative slope of this line is the first-order rate constant kj (Eq. (6)).

Irradiation into this band with monochromatic light of wavelength 313 nm results in a rearrangement to give ethynylsilanediyl (4). During this photoreaction only the absorbanees of 3 and 4 change, and thus the IR and UVA IS spectra of both compounds can be determined by subtraetion. Fig. 1 shows the difference IR spectrum and the calculated spectra [la] for 3 and 4. 

Figure 4.4-4 Difference IR spectrum of matrix-isolated pyrolysis products according to Eq. 4.4-4 in Ar at 10 K before and after UV photolysis for 10 minutes. Photolysis isomerizes silaethene (o) to methylsilylene (V). The bands marked by a dash are due to hexafluoroxylene which has not been completely eliminated. (Reproduced with permission from Chem.

Ru(CO)2(dppe), CpCo(CO)2, CpRh(CO)2, and CpIr(CO)2 have all been observed. For example, a difference IR spectrum for CpNb(CO)4 in Nujol after photolysis is presented in Figure 1. Poliakoff and Turner reviewed the photochemistry, reaction chemistry, and spectroscopy of Fe(CO)4 in both 1987 and 2001 and the photochemistry ofFe(CO)5 itself has been reviewed through 1999. ...
