Raman spectral investigation of structural peculiarities of cobalt carborane complexes containing dicarbollide and dicarbacanastide ligands

Certain cobalt carborane complexes incorporating Cs[(1.2--C2B9H11)2Co], Cs[(8, 9, 12-Br3-C2B9H8)2Co], Cs[8-I-C2B9H10)2Co and multinuclear chain cobalt carborane complexes of general formula Csn[(1.2-C2B9H11)2Con (1.2-C2B8H10)n-1], where n=2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 have been studied by the method of Raman spectroscopy. Characteristic features of the frequency and intensity of lines of ligand-metal-ligand full-symmetry stretching vibration in Raman spectra of the complexes permit their use as analytic characteristic.
