Summary
The integrated molar absorption coefficients Atilt of the C-C stretching-vibration of the coordinated alkynes of Rh, Ir, Ni and Pt complexes of hexafluorobutyne (HFB), tolane and hexyne have been measured. A relative scale of donor and acceptor interactions in the complexes has been calculated from the measured values of Kti, and A(v’) = v’(free alkyne) - Y’(coordinated alkyne). Competitive as well as synergic relations between donor and acceptor bonding have been found. The order of increasing donor and decreasing acceptor bonding has been found for the alkynes HFB + tolane + hexyne. Within the series of complexes of a given alkyne, the acceptor bond increases for the metals in the order: Pt(I1) (4) < Rh(1) (4) < Ir(1) (4) < Pt(I1) (5) < Ni(0) (3) < Pt(0) (3) (coordination number in parentheses) and the donor bonding increases synergically with the acceptor bonding in this series. Introduction The by the a bond empty +-orbit&
transition metal-alkyne bond has a dual nature and is usually described Dewar, Chatt, Duncanson bonding model [1,2] as being composed of (i) of o-symmetry, in which the alkyne donates n-electron density to the metal orbitals, and (ii) a bond of ;T-symmetry, in which the antibonding of the alkyne

backbonding), In addition, there may be a contribution from the second n.and 7r* orbital pair. Both donor and acceptor bonding weaken the coordinated C=C bond and lower the C=C stretching vibration frequency. The GC stretching vibration of a coordinated alkyne is accompanied by a change in dipole moment which is perpendicular to t.he vibrational motion along the metalqlkyne bond. The change in the permanent dipole moment, due to the movements of the nuclear coordinates during the CZC stretching vibration, is not likely to be of great importance, since this symmetric vibration consists

peak, which we attribute to Fermi resonance doubling [23]. In those cases the total intensity of both absorptions has been taken. Results
The IR vibration under consideration is acceptably described by a 5-center model of Czu-symmetry, comprising the central metal, the two acetyienic carbon atoms and the two substituent atom groups (Fig. 1). From the seven fundamental in-plane vibrations, four belong to the A 1representation. With the aid of tabulated G-mat& elements 1241 and estimated force constants 125,261 it is confirmed that contributions of the lower frequency vibrations to the commonly called CEC stretching vibration in the 1700-2000 cm-’ region do not exceed IO%, so that approximation by a pure CS! stretching vibration does not introduce large errors. The integrated molar absorption coefficient &, is defined as 1271: .A& = IZdzJ = 2.303(1/U)
