The electron paramagnetic spectra of the N,N1-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) positive ion were determined. The hyperfine pattern consists of 11 major groups each split into 6 lines. Crystal violet was deuterated and the corresponding ring-deuterated TMB prepared by cherudcal oxi-dation of the crystal violet. The deuterated TMB spectra confirmed that the major coupling is due to methyl protons. The preparation of 3-cyanopentane-2,4-dione is described. The infrared stretching frequencies of the C an N group in twelve metal complexes of this B- dikatone are recorded. While marked variations in the positicn or the C EPSILON N stretching frequency are found with changes ~ the co-ordination number of the metal 3on, the position of the band is found at 2216.2 plus or minus 1.0 cm/sup -1/ in six tervalent complexes. It appears that the 2p -electrons of the chelate ring are not strongly perturbed by interaction with the 3d orbitals of the metal.
