Abstract-The infrared spectra of divinylmercury, ethylvinylmercury, diethylmercury, divmylzinc, diethylzinc, diethylcadmium, tetraethyltin, tetravinyltm, triethylphosphine and trivinylphosphine have been examined in the liquid state over the region from 650-3500 For each spectrum many of the vibrational frequencies have been assigned.

derivatives of metals and metalloids of elements of the main groups of the Classification have long been known, but only comparatively recently
have vinyl
compounds of metals and metalloids been prepared in any number. vinylating reagents has been the chief cause of this situation, but recently a number of these reagents have been made. NORMANT [l] prepared [4] have been made in vinyl Grignard, and divinylmercury [ 2, 31 and divinylzinc this laboratory. A new method for preparing sodium vinyl in good yield has also been reported [5]. A natural consequence of discovery of these new compounds has been the isolation of vinyl derivatives of other elements, e.g. Sn [6, 71, Ge [S], B [2, 91, P [lo, 111 and Pb [12]. Divinylmercury was made in this laboratory several months before we reported it in the literature [2, 31. Delay in reporting divinylmercury occurred because we were not obtaining the compound in a pure state. This became evident on examination of the infra-red spectra of various samples of divinylmercury prepared on different occasions by treating mercury-II chloride with vinylmagnesium bromide. These spectra, taken with a liquid-film cell, oftendiffered from each other, but in varying degrees. Differences were especially obvious in the 3300-2700 cm-l and 1600-1100 cm-l regions of the spectrum. Despite this, all samples analysed well (C, H, Hg), and distilled at reproducible temperatures at constant pressure. However, although a particular sample of divinylmercury had an infra-red Lack

affecting its boiling point, or analytical data. Because of this it seemed likely that the contaminant of our divinylmercury was the ethyl compound. This idea was amply confirmed when a few different spectra were compared. For example, relative intensities of certain bands, those of 1468, 1430, 13'i5, 1232 and 1188 cm-l, varied in the spectra of the different samples of “divinylmercury” prepared. On the other hand, in the spectrum of vinylethylmercury (Fig. 1) these five 4

SEYPERTH [l3, 141 has shown that a number of reagents will preferentially A similar preferential cleavage cleave vinyl groups from vinylethyltin compounds. of vinyl groups accounts for the fact that our impure divinylmercury could give pure vinyl compounds of certain other elements. Ethyl-group contamination of our divinylmercury arose because the vinyl bromide* used to make vinyl Grignard contained appreciable quantities of ethyl bromide. We have recently reported [4] a method for removing ethyl bromide from vinyl bromide, and purified vinyl bromide was used in our preparations of spectrum of pure divinylmercury [2, 31 and divinylzinc [4]. In the infra-red divinyl mercury, the various bands mentioned above (1468-1188 cm-l) observed in the spectra of impure samples vanish, or become very weak (Fig. 1). As a consequence of the ethyl contamination of our first samples of divinylmercury and our use of infra-red spectra to demonstrate this fact, we became interested in the spectra of vinyl and ethyl compounds in general. Such spectra are of interest for identification purposes, and could conceivably supply information about structure and the nature of chemical bonds. The initial treatment of spectra reported here frequently involves tentative band assignments which are Better data through accumulation of more information on often incomplete. similar molecules should lead to complete assignments. In many instances, for a particular type of compound the spectra were strikingly similar over the region studied, e.g. (CH,:CH),Hg and (CH,:CH),Zn; or (C,HJ,Cd and (C,H,),Zn.

All spectra are those of liquid films which were held in a demountable cell In the case of air-sensitive compounds with silver spacer of 0.015 mm thickness. such as those of phosphorus, zinc and cadmium, the cell was loaded under nitrogen in a dry box.* In this manner oxidation was reduced to a minimum, but perhaps not completely avoided in the case of divinylzinc. Partial oxidation of organozinc compounds would result in the appearance of a strong absorption in the region 1030-l 140 cm-l, due to the C-O stretch in either R-Zn-OR or Zn(OR) 2. These compounds are formed when zinc alkyls come into contact with a deficiency Owing to its similar, though diminished, reactivity the same of oxygen [15]. behavior but to a lesser degree might be expected for diethylcadmium. Absence of a strong band in the region 1030-l 140 cm-l in the infra-red spectrum of diethylcadmium, and presence of only a weak shoulder at 1025 cm-r in the spectrum of diethylzinc attests to the fact that oxidation has been held to a minimum for these substances. In the case of divinylzinc, however, the whole region 920-1050 cm-l indicates a much greater relative absorption intensity than that observed in the spectra of any of the other alkyls or vinyls of the metals. This would arise from the absorption of the Zn-O-R and (R-O),Zn systems, in addition to the normal bands of that region due to divinylzinc alone. This supports tentative assignment of the 1035 cm-l band in the spectrum of divinylzinc as indicating Zn-O-C bonds [16]. As the presence of this absorption did not interfere with our main purpose, no attempt was made to see whether this band really belonged to divinylzinc, or whether it could be eliminated by adopting even greater precautions in loading the cell. Band assignments presented in Tables l-9 were made by reference to BELLAMY [17], to JONES and SANDORPY [ 151 and to NAKAGAWA[~~], and to papers cited by these authors.

For purposes of further comparing the series of bands characteristic of the vinyl group with those characteristic of the ethyl group (vide i@a), the spectra of ethylvinylmercury and of phenylvinylmercury are also given (Fig. 1). The infra-red spectra of diethyl- and divinylzinc, and of diethylcadmium are shown in Fig. 2. Vibrational frequencies for the zinc compounds are listed in Tables 3 and 4 respectively. Table 3 lists also the Raman frequencies of diethylzinc [20]. Vibrational frequencies in liquid diethylcadmium are given in Table 5. Vibrational frequencies of tetravinyland tetraethyltin are recorded in Tables 6 and 7. The spectra of the tin compounds are given in Fig. 3. [20] [Zl]

Discussion Band assignments listed in Tables l-9 should be regarded as tentative, although in the region from 3000 cm-l to about 1100 cm-l they are fairly reliable. As is well known, in this region frequencies are due to vibrations of individual groups or specific bonds in the molecule, and are more or less independent of the structure of the molecule as a whole. This, of course, is borne out by the comprehensive assignment correlations that have successfully been made [ 17, 18-J for organic Below 1200 cm-l spectra arise more from molecules of widely varying structure. skeletal frequencies, and are much more dependent on mass effects and overall molecular structure.

This is fully confirmed by the spectra reported here. Above about 1100 cm-l there is a striking similarity in the spectra of Et,Hg, Et,Zn, Et&d, Et,Sn and E&P; and in the spectra of (CH,:CH),Hg, (CH,:CH),Zn, (CH,:CH),Sn and (CH,:CH),P.

It is interesting to note that although there is a very significant difference in the 3000-1100 cm-l region between the spectra of vinyl metal or vinyl metalloid compounds on the one hand and their ethyl analogs on the other (Fig. 5), there is not a great difference between the spectrum of pure vinyl bromide and the spectrum of vinyl bromide which contains as much as 20 per cent ethyl bromide. Difference in spectra of vinyl and ethyl groups are much more prominent in organometal and organometalloid compounds than they are in vinyl and ethyl bromide because the spectrum of vinyl bromide is perforce taken in the gas phase. In the gas phase bands are broadened and, moreover, rotational fine structure becomes These factors cause the band of an impurity superimposed on the band envelopes. in a mixture to be well camouflaged if the impurity band is located near an absorption due to a principal constituent of the mixture. In the spectrum of a liquid on the other hand, a small peak due to an impurity often can be seen if it is close to a peak due to the major compound. Consequently, except for bands near 3000 cm-l the spectrum of pure vinyl bromide resembles that of a grossly impure sample remarkably well. This is so because every absorption in ethyl bromide save those in the 3000 cm-l- region is paralleled by one for the vinyl bromide, very close by, and usually of greater intensity. Hence a 20 per cent impurity of vinyl bromide in ethyl bromide shows up mwh more prominently than does 20 per cent ethyl bromide impurity in the vinyl bromide. It is interesting to note that a complete analysis of the infra-red spectrum of vinyl bromide has recently been reported by GULLIKSON and NIELSEN [23]. These workers used Matheson “vinyl bromide”, and in their paper [23] quote the Matheson claim that the substance was 99 per cent pure. However, GULLIXSON and NIELSEN detected some impurity bands although they apparently did not know what the impurity was, nor suspect that it was present to such an extent as of vinyl bromide at 2990 cm-l 16-20 per cent. Bands in the reported [23] spectrum (shoulder), 2553 cm-l and 1451 cm-l are due to ethyl bromide impurity. -In addition, due to the presence at the same frequency of an absoiption of ethyl bromide, the band at 3030 cm-l in the GULLIKSON and NIELSEN vinyl bromide spectrum has an enhanced relative intensity.
