INFRARED SPECTRA OF DIVALENT METAL DITHIOACETYLACETONATES

The infrared spectra of iron(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II), palladium(II), and platinum(II) complexes of dithioacetylacetone have been recorded from 4000 to 300 cm-1. Vibrational assignments were obtained by normal-coordinate analyses. Except for metal-sulfur vibrations, the spectra have been slightly affected by the nature of the coordinated metal. Metal-ligand bonding in dithioacetylacetonates and similar complexes was discussed on the basis of their molecular spectra. © 1969, American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.
