Vibrational spectra of dipyridine-1-oxide metal(II) tetracyanonickelate complexes

Abstract

Six new Hofmann-type complexes, M(pyridine-1-oxide)(2)(Ni(CN)(4)(M is Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Cd), have been prepared and their infrared and Raman spectra are reported. Effects of metal-ligand bond formation on the vibrational modes of pyridine-1-oxide are examined.
