This simple picture of bonding is convenient to use, and often completely acceptable. However, it does lack sophistication and may not be used to explain some of the subtleties of these systems. One obvious point in this regard concerns infrared spectral data. Coordination of carbon monoxide to a metal invariably leads to a lower carbonyl stretching frequency (vco). implying a lower CO bond order as predicted. However, the values for vcn may be considerably higher for metal complexes of an isocyanide than are the values for the ligand itself. The valence-bond picture cannot rationalize...

In an effort to understand the mechanisms involved in formation of complex orientational structures of adsorbed molecules and to describe orientational, vibrational, and electronic excitations in systems of this kind, a new approach to solid surface theory has been developed which treats the properties of two-dimensional dipole systems.61,109,121 In adsorbed layers, dipole forces are the main contributors to lateral interactions both of dynamic dipole moments of vibrational or electronic molecular excitations and of static dipole moments (for polar molecules). In the previous chapter, we demonstrated that all the information on lateral interactions within a system is carried by the Fourier components of the dipole-dipole interaction tensors. In this chapter, we consider basic spectral parameters for two-dimensional lattice systems in which the unit cells contain several inequivalent molecules. As seen from Sec. 2.1, such structures are intrinsic in many systems of adsorbed molecules. For the Fourier components in question, the lattice-sublattice relations will be derived which enable, in particular, various parameters of orientational structures on a complex lattice to be expressed in terms of known characteristics of its Bravais sublattices. In the framework of such a treatment, the ground state of the system concerned as well as the infrared-active spectral frequencies of valence dipole vibrations will be elucidated. 

A proof of this relation may be found in Bracewell (1978). Note that the spectral variable used in this and the next chapter is the same as that defined in Eqs. (7) and (8). Now consider a spatial distribution /(x) and its Fourier spectrum F(w) that come close to satisfying the equality in Eq. (4). We may take Ax and Aw as measures of the width, and hence the resolution, of the respective functions. To see how this relates to more realistic data, such as infrared spectral lines, consider shifting the peak function /(x) by various amounts and then superimposing all these shifted functions. This will give a reasonable approximation to a set of infrared lines. To discuss quantitatively what is occurring in the frequency domain, note that the Fourier spectrum of each shifted function by the shift theorem is given simply by the spectrum of the unshifted function multiplied by a constant phase factor. The superimposed spectrum would then be... 

Infrared spectral studies on molybdenum hexacarbonyl-alumina were reported by Davie, Whan, and Kemball 78). Without any activation procedure they obtained a sharp carbonyl frequency corresponding to unchanged hexacarbon-yl on the support. This material was not active for disproportionation. After treatment for one hour under vacuum at 373 °K the catalyst had lost the sharp carbonyl band but showed two wider and broader bands and was active for dis-proportionating propylene. The authors stated that the active catalyst clearly had a lower symmetry than the hexacarbonyl and must have lost one or more of the carbonyl groups. After exposure of the activated catalyst to air, the catalyst was inactive and showed no absorption in the carbonyl region. 

So it is anticipated that there are 15 Raman and 10 infrared spectral lines for complexes of this type. Listed in Table 7.3.6 are the 10 infrared frequencies for some group VIA dibenzene complexes. 

The lack of accurate and stable frequency standards in the near-infrared spectral range, and in particular at 1083 nm, is a serious inconvenient to improve the present frequency stability of the He-locked master laser. On the other hand, hyperfine transitions of the iodine molecule has been defined as secondary frequency standard at different visible wavelengths, and in particular at 532 nm, the doubled frequency of the 1064 nm Nd YAG laser. Likewise, our idea has been to lock the master laser frequency to I2 hyperfine transitions at its doubled frequency, 541 nm. 

The analysis of the dynamics and dielectric relaxation is made by means of the collective dipole time-correlation function (t) = (M(/).M(0)> /( M(0) 2), from which one can obtain the far-infrared spectrum by a Fourier-Laplace transformation and the main dielectric relaxation time by fitting < >(/) by exponential or multi-exponentials in the long-time rotational-diffusion regime. Results for (t) and the corresponding frequency-dependent absorption coefficient, A" = ilf < >(/) cos (cot)dt are shown in Figure 16-6 for several simulated states. The main spectra capture essentially the microwave region whereas the insert shows the far-infrared spectral region.
