Structural Investigation of 1 4 Diaminobenzene Complexes of Nickel and Cadmium Chloride by FT IR and Raman Spectroscopy

Abstract

Infrared and Raman (4000-200 cm−1) spectra are reported for 1,4-diaminobenzene complexes of nickel (II) and cadmium (II) chloride, MCl2PPD, where MNi or Cd and PPD=1,4-diaminobenzene (p-phenylenediamine). Vibrational spectroscopic investigation indicated that complexes have polymeric structures containing bidentate bridging molecules of 1,4-diaminobenzene.
