[Os2(CO)8(µ2-η2-C2H4)] as a vibrational model for 1,2-di-σ chemisorbed ethylene on metal surfaces
Abstract
A vibrational assignment has been made for [Os2(CO)8(µ2-η2-C2H4)] and its deuteriated and 13C analogues: this complex is shown to be a vibrational model for molecular ethylene chemisorption, confirming the (1,2-di-σ) bonding mode.
