The infrared and Raman spectra of a number of iodocuprate(I) complexes have been studied. None of the solid complexes studied appears to contain the discrete diiodocuprate(I), CuI2-, or triiododicuprate(I), Cu2I3-, ions which have previously been reported in solution studies, but bright yellow compounds which may contain the hexaiodotetracuprate(I) ion, Cu4I62-, have been prepared with methyltriphenylphosphonium and methyltriphenylarsonium cations. A structure based on a tetrahedron is proposed for the Cu4I62- ion, the copper atoms lying at the corners, and the iodine atoms bridging the copper atoms and lying along the edges of the tetrahedron. The evidence for this structure, and the information concerning the bonding in the ion obtainable from the vibrational and n.q.r. (63Cu, 65Cu, 127I) spectra are discussed.

The i.r. and Raman spectra of the dihalocuprate(1) ions CuX2- (X = Cl, Br) have been measured in solution, and in a number of crystalline compounds with large organic cations. The halogen and copper n.q.r. frequencies of the CuX2- ions in some of the solid complexes were also measured. In all cases, the ions were found to have linear, centrosymmetric structures. The various theories which have been proposed to describe the bonding in linear d10 transition metal complexes are discussed, and it is concluded that the scheme proposed by Orgel and Jorgensen, involving ds hybridization on the metal atom, best accounts for the n.q.r. results, although some uncertainty is introduced through the lack of sufficient information concerning the magnitude of the Sternheimer effect. An experiment which might differentiate between the ds and sp hybridization schemes in the case of linear AuI complexes is proposed.

The infrared and Raman spectra of bis(N,N-dibutyldithiocarbamato)gold(111) dichloroaurate(1), [(Bu2NCS2)2AU] AuCl2, and the corresponding bromo and iodo compounds have been measured, and the anion vibrational frequencies assigned. The results are compared with those for other MX2- ions (M = Cu, Ag; X = C1, Br, I). The chlorine n.q.r. frequencies for the above-named compound, and the corresponding tetraalkylammonium salts, [R4N] AuCl2 (R = Et, Bu), have also been measured. A Townes and Dailey analysis of the results indicates an ionic character of about 68% for the Au-Cl bond in the AuCl2- ion, and a net charge of about + 0.36e on the Au atom. These results are compared with those for some related metal halide complexes.

Copper (II), nickel (II), and palladium (II) complexes of amidinourea are reinvestigated in order to verify their structure. Electronic spectra and magnetic susceptibility measurements have been obtained on the solid complexes. Electronic spectral results indicate the donor strength of amidinourea is comparable to strong field ligands like biuret, biguanide, and I-amidino-O-alkylurea. Infra-red spectral results suggest that the carbonyl group of amidinourea is not involved in coordination and the donor atoms in amidinourea are amide nitrogens. The effect of solvents on the absorption bands is also discussed. The solution absorption spectra of bis (amidinourea) copper (II) chloride in different solvents indicate the following order of decreasing tetragonality:DMSO > methanol > ethyleneglycol > water.
