Vibrational spectra of some octahedral trimethylphosphine complexes of rhodium and iridium
Abstract
Infrared and Raman spectra below 800 cm–1 of complexes trans-[IrX4(PMe3)2]–, mer- and fac-[MX3(PMe3)3], trans-[MX2(PMe3)4]+(X = Cl or Br; M = Rh or Ir) and the i.r. spectrum of trans-[IrCl4(PMe3)2] are reported and vibrational assignments proposed. Metal–chlorine and metal–phosphorus stretching frequencies are discussed.
