Title: TRACTABLE POTENTIAL FUNCTIONS AS DERIVED FROM THEORIES OF BONDING FOR METAL CARBONYLS AND METAL CYANIDE COMPLEXES

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4035047

Various potential functions used ior normal coordinate analyses of molecular vibrations are discussed. In a general quadratic potential function there are too many force constants to determine from the obserwed frequencies. Therefore, a pi-electron interaction valence force field is derived for the octahedral metal hexacarbonyls. The results of application of this treatment to Mo(CO)/sub 6/ are given and shown to be quite satisfactory. The Urey-Bradley Field, which gives satisfactory results for some molecules is shown to be inferior for metal carbonyls. A brief discussion of the modification of this pi IVFF for metal-cyanide complexes is presented. (auth)
