Structural characterization of octahedral metal complexes of [MX3(py)3] type with three pyridines as revealed by 2H NMR spectra
摘要:
Deuterium NMR spectra of a series of mer-[MX3(py-d5)3] type complexes where M = Cr(III), Mo(III) and X = Cl -, Br-, F-, NCS- have been measured to determine the geometrical structure. Most of them provided a decisive criteria for this purpose with only one exception of [CrCl3(py-ds),] where the H-2 NMR and visible absorption spectra behave like the fac isomer. The previous assignments of 'fac'- and 'mer'-[Cr(NCS)3(py)3] by DasSarma and DasSarma were found to be wrong; correctly mer-[Cr(NCS)3(py)3] and (Hpy)[Cr(NCS)4(py)2], respectively.
