Mi. Rogojerov et Mg. Arnaudov, IR LINEAR DICHROIC STUDY OF HIGH-SYMMETRY MOLECULES DISSOLVED IN A LIQUID-CRYSTAL SOLVENT .2. METAL HEXACARBONYL COMPLEXES M(CO)6 (M=MO, CR), Journal of molecular structure, 321(3), 1994, pp. 157-164
The presence of weak specific solvent-solute interactions is proved by
studying the splitting of the nu3(F1u) band of M(CO)6 (M = Mo, Cr) in
some isotropic electron donor solvents, A similar spectral effect is
observed in the smectic, nematic and isotropic phases of the liquid cr
ystal ZLI 1167 (Merck) and is explained by similar interactions. The c
omplex (bisignate) shape of the IR-LD spectra of M(CO)6 in the anisotr
opic solvent is considered to be a manifestation of the same solvent e
ffect.
