Este trabalho apresenta uma investigação teórico-experimental dos espectros infravermelho/ Raman de diversos metais representativos coordenados com 1,3-ditiol-2-tiona-4,5-ditiolato (dmit), a saber [NEt 4 . Os espectros IV/Raman de todos os sólidos e também o espectro IV em solução do composto [NEt 4 ] 2 [Zn(dmit) 2 ] foram registrados de 4000 a 100 cm -1 . Duas regiões foram claramente identificadas: abaixo de 380 cm -1 os modos apresentaram forte contribuição metal-ligante, e acima, os modos indicaram majoritária contribuição do ligante. Os espectros IV/Raman do NEt 4 Br também foram registrados. As bandas vibracionais foram atribuídas a partir da análise de compostos relacionados, de publicações prévias e comparadas com amplo conjunto de cálculos ab initio realizados com diversos ECPs (SBK, Sttutgart), conjunto de bases (com e sem funções d) e metodologias (RHF, DFT e MP2). As geometrias, freqüências e intensidades foram calculadas e comparadas com as freqüências experimentais visando atribuições seguras. Assim, uma excelente concordância foi obtida para diversas bandas experimentais.This work reports a theoretical-experimental investigation of the infrared/Raman vibrational spectra of several metal 1,3-dithole-2-thione-4,5-dithiolate (dmit) complexes; [NEt 4 2 ] were recorded from 4000 to 100 cm -1 . Two regions were clearly identified: below 380 cm -1 , the modes presented significant metal-ligand contributions, and above, the modes indicated major ligand contributions. IR/Raman spectra of NEt 4 Br have also been recorded. The vibrational bands have been assigned starting from the analysis of related compounds, of previous published spectra and compared to several ECPs (SBK, Stuttgart), basis sets (with and without functions d) and methodologies (RHF, MP2 and DFT). Geometries, frequencies and intensities were calculated and compared to the experimental frequencies seeking secure assignment. Thus, an excellent agreement was obtained for several experimental bands.Keywords: IR, Raman, ab initio, RHF, DFT, MP2, dmit complexes, Zn, Sb, Bi
IntroductionThe syntheses and properties of metal complexes with 1,2-dithiolato-polysulfido ligands have been intensely studied 1-3 particularly since the discovery, by Cassoux and co-workers 4 in 1986, of the first metallic molecular superconductor, [TTF][Ni(dmit) 2 ] 2 , where dmit is the 1,3-dithiole-2-thione-4,5-dithiolate ligand. Presently dmit ligand complexes are the best studied.The publication of Cassoux and co-workers 4 seminal paper led a new impetus for the study of the applications of metal dmit compounds as super-conducting complexes, materials with non-linear optical properties and materials for electronic molecular devices. Such properties arise in part, from the rich redox chemistry of these compounds and the large polarizability of sulfur atoms.An additional important feature for the super-conducting property on metal bis(dmit) complexes, such as [TTF][Ni(dmit) 2 ] 2 , is the planar geometry of the anions, [3][4][5] dmit 2- Despite the large volume of wo...
