CN Stretching Bands in the Raman Spectra of Some Group Ib and Group IIb Complex Cyanides

Abstract

The Raman spectra of solutions containing cuprous, argentous, and mercuric ions together with cyanide ions indicate the presence of the di-, tri-, and tetra-coordinated complexes. The spectra from solutions containing zinc and cadmium ions, respectively, with cyanide ions could be investigated in concentrations where only the tetra-coordinated complex is observed.
