Abstract

Infrared and Raman spectra of Cu(II) bis(2,4-pentandionate) and Pd(II) bis(2,4-pentandionate) complexes have been measured and interpreted. The coincidence of numerous bands in the IR and Raman spectra has been explained by the isolation effect of the heavy central metal atom which prevents the vibrational interaction of the two ligands in the chelate molecule with each other. An 11-particle model consisting of all the atoms of one ligand (both CH3 groups are taken as the point masses), a central metal atom and two oxygen atoms of the other ligand has been proved to be most adequate for the empirical interpretation of the spectra.
