Comparison of the Infrared Spectra (4000–70 cm−1) of Several Hydrated and Anhydrous Salts of Transition Metals

Abstract

The infrared spectra from 4000 to 70 cm−1 of several hydrated and anhydrous salts of transition metals have been obtained. A comparison of the spectra of a hydrate with a full coordination shell of water, of a lower hydrate, and of the anhydrous salt is made. Differences in the spectra are discussed.
