Jb. Everhart et Bs. Ault, INFRARED SPECTROSCOPIC STUDY OF THE MATRIX-ISOLATED COMPLEXES OF TICL4 WITH PH3 AND ASH3, Inorganic chemistry, 35(13), 1996, pp. 4090
The 1:1 complexes of TiCl4 with PH3 and AsH3 have been characterized i
n argon matrices. Intense spectral features in the 400-500 cm(-1) regi
on were assigned to Ti-Cl antisymmetric stretching modes in each compl
ex, shifted from the parent mode near 500 cm(-1) while the bending mod
es of coordinated PH3 and AsH3 shifted 15-70 cm(-1). The Ti-Cl stretch
ing modes of the complexes shifted with different bases; these shifts
correlate with the intrinsic basicity of each base.
