Infrared spectra carbonyl oxide

The intermediate cyclooctene complex appears to be more reactive with respect to CS coordination and more sensitive to oxidation when the arene ring bears electron-withdrawing groups (e.g., C02CH3). Dicarbonyl(methyl rj6-benzoate)-thiocarbonyl)chromium is air stable in the solid state and reasonably stable in solution.9 The infrared spectrum exhibits metal carbonyl absorptions at 1980 and 1935 cm"1 and a metal thiocarbonyl stretch at 1215 cm"1 (Nujol) (these occur at 1978, 1932, and 1912 cm"1 in CH2C12 solution).10 Irradiation of the compound in the presence of phosphite or phosphine leads to slow substitution of CO by these ligands, whereas the CS ligand remains inert to substitution. The crystal structure has been published."... 

Isoelectronic with nickel carbonyl are the anions, Ni(CN)44- and Pd(CN)44-, which are obtained as their potassium salts by reduction of the corresponding cyanides of oxidation state +2 with potassium in liquid ammonia (32, 65, 186). The infrared spectrum of the nickel complex has been reported (67) to show only one band at 1985 cm-1, in the triple-bond... 

The carbonyls are disposed trans to each other, which is deduced from the single carbonyl in the infrared spectrum. A similar cation may be formed by mild oxidation of the chromium dicarbonyl phosphine, Cr(CO)2QP [QP = tris(o-diphcnylphosphinophenyl)phosphine]. 

The gas phase reaction proceeds very much as described for nickel carbonyl, but the product does not contain the nitrite group (10). A smoke is formed immediately the gases come into contact, but the analysis and infrared spectrum of the solid formed show it to be the oxide-nitrate Fe0(N03). It seems likely that initial reaction involves the NO2 radical, and an iron nitrite such as Fe(N02)3 may be produced initially. The oxidation-reduction properties of the ferric and nitrite ions may render them incompatible Fe0(N03) would then be left as a decomposition product. So little is known about transition metal nitrites that this must remain conjecture at present, but it may be relevant to recall that it has not yet been possible to isolate pure samples of Fe(N03)3, A1(N03)3, or Cr(N03)3. 

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... 

The photodegradation of poly(2,6-dimethyl-l,4-phenylene oxide), 1, has received considerable attention both in industrial and in academic laboratories. Workers have observed that when poly-(phenylene oxide) films are exposed to light of wavelengths greater than 300 nm in the presence of oxygen, considerable discoloration and crosslinking occur accompanied by the appearance of carbonyl and hydroxyl bands in the infrared spectrum (2-5). Most workers in the field have ascribed these results to a hydroperoxide-mediated free radical oxidation of the benzylic methyl groups (Scheme I). 

Increased absorption in the hydroxyl and carbonyl regions of the infrared spectrum has been observed on irradiation of poly-2,6 dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide ...

The authors found that the in situ electrochemical potentiokinetic reactivation (EPR) data obtained for the monocation I" " showed that the two Mn centers had identical spin densities, and hence the cation showed delocalized mixed valence the near-infrared spectrum supported this postulate. If such a delocalized system existed on the infrared timescale, then two bands would be expected in the carbonyl region of the infrared spectrum of 1+ at frequencies intermediate between those of the Mn(I)/Mn(I) neutral complex, (1861 and 1934 cm ), and those of the fully oxidized Mn(II)/Mn(II) species, which were predicted to be ca. 1966 and 2048 cm on the basis of the bands observed for CpMn(II)(CO)2PPh3 +, (Cp = cyclopentadienyl). In contrast, four intense CO absorptions were observed near 1888, 1931, 1952, and 2003 cm , which were typical of the trapped valent Mn(II)/Mn(I) species. The variation in the response obtained on the EPR timescale, ca. 10 s, to that observed on the infrared timescale, ca. 10 s, was taken by the authors as implying a time-dependent localization process. 

Some allylic and benzylic alcohols give this test result because the reagent can oxidize them to aldehydes and ketones, which subsequently react. Some alcohols may be contaminated with carbonyl impurities, either as a result of their method of synthesis (reduction) or as a result of their becoming air-oxidized. A precipitate formed from small amounts of impurity in the solution will be formed in small amounts. With some caution, a test that gives only a slight amount of precipitate can usually be ignored. The infrared spectrum of the compound should establish its identity and identify any impurities present. 

The oxidation of PVA with 30% hydrogen peroxide at pH 5.4 proceeded only to the extent of 30% conversion. Infrared spectrum of the product, PHK, showed carbonyl absorption at 1700 cm"", suggesting the product contains isolated ketone groups instead of enol-ketone units with unoxidized hydroxy groups. 

In 1961, the infrared spectrum of an oxidized sample of polyethylene showing the carbonyl and hydroxyl groups was reported. This spectrum is shown in Figure 6.4.
