Infra-red spectrum, structure, force constants, mean amplitudes of vibration, thermodynamic functions and molecular polarizability oi NSO1 A. Mi~LLER, G. NAGARAJAN*, O. GLEMSER, S. F. CYV~t and J. WEGENER Anorganisch-Chemisches Institut der Universit~it GSttingen (Received 9 February 1967) infra-red spectrum of NSC1 was studied from 300 to 4000 cm-1. The two fundamentals ul and v2 were directly observed and the third one ua was calculated from the overtone and combination bands. It was confirmed that NSC1 has the structure NSC1 with Cs-symmetry and not SNC1. Force constants, mean amplitudes of vibration, molar thermodynamic functions and molecular polarizability were computed and the results briefly discussed. Abstract--The

INTRODUCTIOlg NSC1, a gaseous greenish yellow compound was first prepared b y GLEMSER and RICHERT [lJ b y the action of chlorine on gaseous N SF and later b y GLEMSER and PERL [2] b y heating N3S3C13. Nevertheless, a complete vibrational analysis has so far not been made. I t seemed to be worthwhile to st udy the infra-red absorption spectrum of NSC], assign the fundamentals, and compute the force constants, mean amplitudes of vibration, molar t he r m odyna m i c functions, and molecular polarizability because this compound is v e r y interesting from t he nature of bonding and the structural point of view. EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE Gaseous NSC1 was prepared b y heating N3S3C13to ll0°C under high vacuum. The infra-red spectrum was studied with a Leitz spectrophotometer from 4000 to 300 cm -1. The sample was contained in a 10-cm glass cell with NaCI-, KBr-, and CsBr-windows at room temperature. Because of the rapid polymerization of NSC1 to NaS3C13, the spectrum was scanned v e r y quickly after the preparation of NSC1. Small amounts o f HNSO and SO 2 were found in the observed spectrum probably due to the following reaction of NSC1 with water vapour: NSC1 ~ H~O --~ HNSO ~ HC1 HNSO ~- H20 --~ N H a + SO~ INFRA-RED ABSORPTIO~ SPECTRUM According to the WALsH rule [3], NSC1 should be non-linear. A non-linear asymmetrical NSC1 molecule possessing the s y m m e t r y point group C, gives rise, according to the relevant s y m m e t r y considerations and selection rules, to three vibrational degrees of freedom constituting three fundamental frequencies, namely, * Department of Chemistry, University of Maryland, College Park, U.S.A. t Institute of Theoretical Chemistry, Technical University of Norway, Trondheim, Norway.

is possible. The reason for it is that in the case of the structure SNC1 no expansion of the valence'shell of the nitrogen is possible to give a bond order NNS > 2. In the cases of N S F and N S F a molecules (with strong d~-p~ bonds between S and N atoms), there is also a bond order greater than 2 according to the investigations of SIEBERT [9]. THERMODYNAMIC FUNCTIONS The statistical thermodynamic functions such as enthalpy function, free enthalpy function, entropy, and heat capacity were computed for this molecule for the temperature range 200-2000°K. The same fundamental frequencies and molecular structural data used for the calculations of force constants and mean amplitudes of vibration were used for these computations. A rigid rotator, harmonic oscillator model was assumed and all the quantities were computed for the thermodynamic standard gaseous state of unit fugacity (one atmosphere) b y using the standard formulae and the tables of functions for the harmonic oscillator contributions given b y PITZER [13]. The contributions due to centrifugal distortion, isotopic mixing, interaction between vibration and rotation, nuclear spins etc. were neglected in the computations since they are negligibly small. Assumed in the calculations were a symmetry number of l, singiet ground electronic state, and chemical atomic weights. The computed values of all the four thermodynamic quantities in calories per degree, mole for the NSC1 molecule are given in Table 3. The values presented here would be very useful in future for the interpretation of the experimental values of entropies and heat capacities for the ideal gaseous state. [12] H. SI:EBERT, Z. Anorg.

MOLECULAR POLARIZABILITY In order to test how far the polarizability could be a useful criterion in testing the accuracy of wave functions chosen, various potential models have been developed by many investigators and polarizabilities calculated for many ions, atoms and simple diatomic molecules. However, the potential models so far developed were partially successful in the cases of few atoms of the periodic table and simple diatomic molecules but not successful in the cases of even simple polyatomic Table 3.

molecules. Of the various potential models developed, the first use of a deltafunction potential model was made by RUDENBERG and his associates [14, 15]. Later, FROST [16] applied a delta-function model of chemical binding to the calculation of energies of various systems with introduction of a branching condition and further improvements were made by LII't'II~COTT [17] with a semi-empirical potential model. By such semi-empirical delta-function techniques LIPPI~COTT and DAYHOFF [18] predicted vibrational frequencies, anharmonicities, bond dissociation energies, and equilibrium internuclear distances in many diatomic molecules and also bond properties of polyatomic molecules. Recently, this semi-empirical model was applied by LIPPI~COTT and his associates [19-21] to the calculations of bond and molecular polarizabilities of various diatomic and polyatomic molecules.

calculated values are in good agreement with the available experimental ones. The same method has been adopted here for the I~SC1 molecule and hence one m a y refer to the earlier studies [19-21] for the detailed theoretical considerations and calculations. The delta-function strengths A in atomic units, atomic polarizabilities ~ in 10-35 cm 3 and c values in atomic units adopted from the earlier method [19] for such computations are given as follows: .4 n = 0.927, A s = 0.688, Acl = 0.753, ~ = 7.43, a s = 18.2, ~Cl = 13.88, c~ = 4.146, cs = 4.128, and c c l = 4.88. The same internuclear distances used for the calculations of force constants, mean amplitudes of vibration and thermodynamic functions were used for such calculation. The following values of electronegativities X~ = 3.0, X s = 2.5, and Xcl = 3.0 were adopted from PA~JLING [22] for the calculation of the polarity correction. The molecular polarizability is mainly composed of a bond parallel component and a bond perpendicular component. The bond parallel component is obtained from bond as well as nonbond region electrons wlfile the bond perpendicular component is derived from atomic polarizabilities and electronegativities of the concerned atoms involved in the bonding. The contribution to the bond parallel component by the bond region electrons is calculated using a linear combination of atomic delta-function wave functions representing the two nuclei involved in the bonding and analytically expressed as ~llb = 4nA12(1/ao)((x~)) 2 where n is the bond order, A1,. the root meansquare delta-function strength of the two nuclei involved, a 0 the radius of the first Bohr orbit or atomic hydrogen and (x2) the mean-square position of a bonding electron i.e., (x2) = (R2/4) ~- (½c~) where R is the internuclear distance at the equilibrium configuration.

with approximate NS-bond order of 3, the obtained values of bond parallel components a]lb for the N = S and S--C1 bonds are 50-291 × 10-25 cm 3 and 55.24 × 10 -25 cm 3, respectively. No polarity correction has been introduced for the N=-~S bond. Since the S--C1 bond is of the heteronuclear type, a polarity correction has been introduced to*determine the percent covalent character; accordingly, the expression for the bond parallel component by introducing the polarity correction is given as ~l[~ ~ ~llb~ where a = exp [--(¼)(X 1 -- X2)2]. Here X refers to the electronegativity on the PAUr,I~G scale [22]. Hence, the obtained value of the parallel component for the S--C1 bond after introducing the polarity correction is given as 51.893 × 10 -35 cm 3. The nonbond region electron contribution to the bond parallel component ~ll- is calculated from the fraction of the electrons in the valence shell of each atom not involved in bonding and its atomic polarizability and an analytical expression of it is given as Z~ll. = Z f ~ j where f~. is the fraction of electrons in the valence shell of the j - t h atom not involved in bonding and ~ the atomic polarizability of the j - t h atom obtainable from the delta-function strength Aj.
