New cis- and trans-nitrosyl complexes of the formula M(NO)(2)(O2CR)(2) (M =
Cr and Mo) were synthesized and characterized spectroscopically. The suppo
rting theoretical studies indicate the deviation of molecules from their id
eal geometries. The most striking consequence is the deformation of the ON-
M-NO fragment from its linear form: in trans complexes. This deformation le
ads to the additional weak v(s)(NO) vibration. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.
