Infrared spectra and density functional theory calculations on transition metal nitrosyls. Vibrational frequencies of unsaturated transition metal nitrosyls

The interaction of nitric oxide (NO) with transition metals is perhaps the most noteworthy among several areas of chemistry. This report presents a review of experiments to synthesize simple MNO compounds and to trap them for measurement of nitrosyl vibrational frequencies and DFT calculations of those same nitrosyl vibrational frequencies.
