Abstract

Abstract The infrared absorption spectra of acetylacetonates of divalent ions1,2 of Co, Ni, Cu and Pd; trivalent ions3 of Al, Fe, Mn and Cr and tetravalent ions4,5 of Zr and Hf have been studied, but very little work has been reported in case of aromatic acid complexes of rare-earth metals. Consequently, it was thought worthwhile to carry out present investigation to obtain a detailed information about the geometry of the molecule and the nature of the metal-oxygen bond in the complexes. The present communication reports the infrared absorption spectra of the complexes of p-nitro benzoic acid with Nd3+ and Pr3+ metals, presumably for the first time. The results have been discussed on the basis of theoretically calculated different modes of vibration. An attempt has been made to investigate the nature of metal-oxygen bonding in the complexes.
