Fourier transform infrared study of monoaquabis(pyridine)-bis(saccharinato)copper(II): Spectra-structure correlations

FT IR spectra of protiated and partially deuterated analogues of the title compound in the 4000-150 cm(-1) region at room (RT) and at liquid-nitrogen boiling temperature (LNT) are recorded. The bands that are mainly owing to OH, OD, CO, SO2 as well as to the CuN(pyridine) stretching modes are assign ed. The spectral characteristics are correlated with the structural data an d compared with those far other saccharinato compounds. (C) 1999 Elsevier S cience B.V. All rights reserved.
