Transition metal chemistry III. A more exact method for evaluation of Co stretching force constants of pentacarbonyl complexes of transition metals, based on the cotton and kraihanzel force field

Abstract

Within the framework of exact secular equations, a rigorous algebraic method for calculating all the CO stretching force constants of the complexes of general formula LM(CO)5 is possible yielding at once all the solutions, whether physically acceptable or not. This method does not imply interation and there is no need for estimating good initial approximations.
