Fourier transform infrared and Raman spectroscopic study of 3-chloro-4-methylaniline metal(II) tetracyanonickelate and chloride complexes

The results of an infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopic study are presented for two new di(3-chloro-4-methylaniline) metal tetracyanonickelate complexes, ML2Ni(CN)(4) and an IR spectroscopic study are given for two new metal chloride complexes, ML2Cl2 (M = Cd(II) or Ni(II); L = 3-chloro-4-methylaniline). The proposed structure of tetracyanonickelate complexes consists of polymeric layers of \M-Ni(CN)(4)\(infinity) with the 3-chloro-4-methylaniline molecules bound directly to metal (M). The effective magnetic moments of the complexes are also given. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
