Vibrational Spectral Studies of the Complexes of Diacetamide with Metal (II) Halides

The FfIR Spectra between 4000-400 em·· and the Raman Spectra between 1800­1200 em·I, of the Complexes of diacetamide with metal (II) halides have been measured to distinguish the mode of coordination of ligand in these complexes. The diacetamide molecules in most of these complexes are acting as bidentate Iigands, Coordinating through both of their carbonyl oxygen atoms and are in cis - form. In Co [(DA). (H20hl Br2, although the diacetamide molecules are in cis - form but they are either acting as monodentate ligands or possibly two of them are uncoordinated as in the corresponding perchlorate complexes.
