Through an analysis of eighty tetrahedral and square-planar metal carbonyls of general formula [M(CO)(L')(L)(2)] including newly synthesized chlorocarbonyl rhodium complexes with chelating atropo-isomeric diphosphanes, we show how coordination geometry can switch the carbonyl stretching frequency into a selective probe of the sigma-donor and pi-acceptor abilities of the ligands. We thus provide a framework whereby the sigma-donation and pi-backdonation constituents of the Dewar-Chatt-Duncanson model can be quantitatively predicted through spectroscopic data on coordinated CO moieties and vice versa.

Abstract

Through an analysis of eighty tetrahedral and square-planar metal carbonyls of general formula [M(CO)(L')(L)(2)] including newly synthesized chlorocarbonyl rhodium complexes with chelating atropo-isomeric diphosphanes, we show how coordination geometry can switch the carbonyl stretching frequency into a selective probe of the sigma-donor and pi-acceptor abilities of the ligands. We thus provide a framework whereby the sigma-donation and pi-backdonation constituents of the Dewar-Chatt-Duncanson model can be quantitatively predicted through spectroscopic data on coordinated CO moieties and vice versa.
