G. Diaz et al., SPECULAR REFLECTANCE INFRARED-SPECTRA OF THE MACROCYCLES CYCLAM AND CYCLAMDIONE AND THEIR CU(II) COMPLEXES DEPOSITED ONTO A SMOOTH COPPER SURFACE, Vibrational spectroscopy, 15(2), 1997, pp. 201-209
An infrared study of the macrocycles cyclam, cyclamdione and its Cu(II
) complexes has been performed. The specular reflectance infrared spec
trum was recorded and analyzed for the ligands and complexes deposited
onto a smooth copper surface. Several spectral modifications resultin
g from the macrocycle-metal surface interaction are interpreted in ter
ms of molecular structural changes. An orientation of the ligands and
complexes onto the metal surface is proposed. (C) 1997 Elsevier Scienc
