Infrared and Raman Spectra of Bis-β-Diketonates of Palladium (II)

Abstract
Infrared and Raman data are reported for four palladium-β-diketonates, including the bis-acetylacetonate, bis-1-phenyl-1,3-butanedionato trans chelate, as well as the cis and trans isomers of 1- p-octyloxyphenyl-1,3-butanedionato chelates. The data indicate that a straightforward application of local symmetry selection rules for the —PdO4— subunit is adequate to explain the low frequency infrared and Raman spectra.
