Oxide-supported metals with molecular structures: Evidence of the metal-oxygen bond from Raman and inelastic electron tunneling spectra of [Re(CO) 3{O-MG}{HO-Mg} 2] and [Re(CO) 3{O-Al}{HO-Al} 2

Abstract

Raman and inelastic electron tunneling spectra of the anchored rhenium complexes [Re(CO) 3{O-Mg}{HO-Mg} 2] and [Re(CO) 3{O-Al}{HO-Al} 2] are reported, providing the first vibrational spectroscopic evidence of the metal-oxygen bond in mononuclear oxide-bound organometallic complexes.
