Abstract

The Raman and infrared spectra of complex:[Cl(CO)2 (DPPE)W≡CC6 H4 C≡CC6 H4 NC]2 Re Cl(CO)3 (DPPE = bis(diphenylphosphino) ethane, (Ph)2 PCH2 CH2 P(Ph)2) were measured at high external pressure (up to about 50 kbar). The pressure induced phase transition was observed near 30 kbar. The pressure dependence dv/dp of v(W≡C) at the low-pressure phase is a little high (0.59 cm-1 · (kbar)-1) and is very low (0.04 cm-1 · (kbar)-1) at the high-pressure phase. It shows that the π-backbonding from W to π* -orbital of CO is strengthened at the high external pressure in fragment Cl(CO)2 (DPPE) W≡C; The bond intensity and the force constant of W≡C and v(W≡C) are decreasing; This effect compete with the normal increasing v(W≡C) on compression.
