title: Analysis of FT-IR spectra of dicyclopentadienyl (bis-substituted cyclopentadienyl) dithiocyano of titanium, zirconium and hafnium.
abstract: The FT-IR spectra of 18 (R-Cp)2M(NCS)2 were measured. The M-Cp, M-NCS (M=Ti, Zr, Hf) and other vibration modes were reasonably assigned. All complexes of (R-Cp)2M(NCS)2 determined in this paper are bonded by N-M, and the absorption of upsilon(s)(M-Cp)(A1) (M=Ti, Zr and Hf) vibration all appear in 365 cm(-1) or so, while upsilon(as)(M-Cp)(B) appear successively around 420, 350 and 320 cm(-1) in order of Ti, Zr and Hf. The influence of the center metal atoms and the substituents on cyclopentadienyl upon the spectra was discussed. It is mainly in far infrared region that center metal atoms influence upon the infrared spectra. The influence of the substituents to cyclopentadienyling upon its vibration is not significant. Only between 1500 and 1480 cm(-1) did a new absorbing peak appear due to the introduction of substituents to activate upsilon(CC) vibration.
