Dinitrogen, Characterisation, Photolysis, Infrared Spectroscopy, Raman Spectroscopy, Organometallic complexes, Bonding ModesAbstract
This review details the use of Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Raman Spectroscopic methods, to characterize dinitrogen complexes formed following the photolysis of cyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl ((ƞ5-C5H5)Mn(CO)3), in the presence of N2. The review was performed to explore the information relating to the structure and bonding modes of dinitrogen to the metal Centre. The main aim here was to explore the utilization of Raman spectroscopy in complimenting the application of Infrared spectroscopy in the characterization of organometallic complexes.
