New Aromatic Anions. IV. Vibrational Spectra and Force Constants for C,O,-’ and C,0,-2 BY MITSUOITO AND ROBERTWEST RECEIVED FEBRUARY 22, 1963 The infrared spectra of solid K2C404 and KzCsOs and the Raman spectra of their aqueous solutions have been investigated. The spectra indicate planar symmetrical structures ( Dlh and D5h) for the ions. Vibrational assignments were made on the basis of these structures and a normal coordinate treatment was carried out using a Urey-Bradley force field. The resulting force constants support the view t h a t these ions constitute members of an aromatic series.1,2

The C,,0n-2series of ions is of interest in that i t has recently been recognized as a new class of aromatic substances. 1 , 2 In 1958, Hirata and his co-workers first suggested that the croconate ion Cb06-2 had a symmetrical resonance-stabilized structure. This conclusion was based mainly on the observation that in the infrared spectra of croconate salts, no absorption occurred in the region near 1700 cm.-l normally expected for the C=O group, but instead a very broad band was found a t lower f r e q ~ e n c y . ~Similar observations on the dianion of diketocyclobutenediol, C404-2,by Cohen, Lacher, and Park led them to propose a planar resonancestabilized structure for this anion also.* This paper reports a more complete investigation of the Raman and infrared spectra for c 4 0 4 - 2 and C606-2 ions, undertaken to provide definite evidence for the structures of these anions. A normal coordinate treatment has been carried out on the vibrational data. The resulting force constants provide evidence concerning the nature of the bonds in the two anions.

Experimental Preparation of samples used in these studies is described elsewhere.1,6,6 Raman Spectra.-A Cary model 81 automatic recording Raman spectrophotometer was used to determine the spectrum of solid K2C,0, and a by weight aqueous solution of this salt. Rhodamin 5 - G D S extra and Wratten 2A filters were used to remove ultraviolet light. The results obtained are shown in the first column of Table I .

Infr‘ared Spectra.--A Baird model 4-55 infrared spectrometer was used for the sodium chloride region, a Beckman model IR-4 with a cesium bromide prism was used for the region 660-300 cm.-’, and a small grating instrument a t the Mellon Institute was used for the region 300-185 cm.-1.10 The spectra of the solid potassium salts were observed as mulls in Kujol. The results obtained are given in the second column of Tables I and 11. The spectra of K2C,Oa and K2C505are very similar and are quite simple, showing only four strong bands over the ,entire range from 200 to 4000 cm.-l. The band near 1,500 cm.-I 1s very strong and extremely broad; this type of absorption is characteristic of salts of the C,0,-2 ions. The infrared spectra of SasC104and Sa2CaO6were also studied briefly. These spectra were generally similar to those of the corresponding dipotassium salts, but contained a few extra bands. I t therefore seemed likely that the local symmetry of the anions was lower in the sodium than in the potassium salts, and it was assumed t h a t the spectrum of the latter would most nearly represent t h a t of the anion itself. Vibrational Assignments.-Assignments were made on the basis of D4h and Djh symmetry for C404-zand csOj-2,respectively (see Discussion section). The distribution of normal vibrations among various symmetry species, their approximate vibrational modes, and the selection rules are given for CdO4-’ and CSO,-~in Tables 111 and I\‘. ( 1 ) C 4 0 J - 2Ion. AI, Species.-The totally symmetric vibrations are easily identified from the polarized Raman lines which fall a t 723 and 1794 cm.-l. T h e former is assigned to the ring breathing vibration v Z and the latter to the symmetrical CO stretching vibration v i . A totally symmetric fundamental vibration usually gives a strong Raman line because it is generally accompanied with a great change in polarizability. However, in the C404-*ion, the v1 vibration of 1794 em.-‘ was observed as a rather weak Raman line. An unusual weak Raman intensity was also observed for the corresponding totally symmetric vibration of the CsOs--2ion. BI, Species.---The vibrations in this species, v j and Y 6 , are active only in the Raman spectrum and the corresponding Raman lines should be depolarized. A strong Raman line of 1123 cm.? is reasonably assigned to the C-C stretching vibration us. The in-plane CO bending vibration, Y 6 , will be expected to give the lowest frequency in the Raman spectrum, and a Raman line of 294 c m - I was assigned to this cnode. (9) F A hliller and G. L .

Out-of-Plane CO Bending Vibrations.-Two out-of-plane CO bending vibrations are expected to appear in the spectrum. One of them is vl1 of species E, and the other is V? of species .42". The former is Raman active and the latter infrared active. A very weak Raman line of 662 cm.? which was observed in the solid state is tentatively assigned as V U . In the CH3COO- ion, the corresponding out-of-plane vibration was found a t 616 cm. -'.I1 A strong infrared band of 259 cm.? which remained unassigned is tentatively assigned to u4. The assignments thus obtained are also summarized in the last column of Table I . ( 2 ) Cj0,-2 Ion.-On the bases of the close similarities in the selection rules and the spectra between the C O - z and CjOj-z ions, the vibrational assignment for C,0j-2 was carried out along the same lines as indicated above for the CdOa-2 ion. The assignments obtained are given in the last column of Table 11. Normal Coordinate Treatment of In-Plane Vibrations of the C40r-l and C,0j-2 Ions.-Normal coordinate treatments for the in-plane vibrations of these ions were carried out using the basic Urey-Bradley force field. The standard FG matrix method was used for the calculation of the normal coordinates.1z The internal coordinates are shown in Fig. 1. By using these internal coordinates, sets of symmetry coordinates were constructed on the basis of Dah and Djh symmetries. These are given in Tables V and V I , where the coordinates pi have the same meaning as defined by Crawford and Miller,I3 t h a t is 8 2 = 1/2(43

Bzg Species.-There

are two vibrations in this species, vg and A depolarized Raman line at 1593 c m - ] is readily assigned to the CO stretching vibration u g . Only one Kaman line with a moderate intensity remains unassigned, a t 647 cm.-', and it may be assigned to the ring bending vibration u1o. E, Species.-The vibrations of U I Z , V I 3 1 and U14 belong to this species and they are active only in the infrared spectrum. The very strong and very broad infrared band centered at 1530 cm.? and a band at 1090 cm.-' should be assigned to the CO stretching vibration v I 2 and the CC stretching vibration V13, respectively. One of the two strong bands a t 259 and 350 cm.-' should be.ul4. According to normal coordinate calculations for the CaOa-' ion, v14 always has a higher frequency than ~6 for sets of reasonable values of the force constants. Therefore, the 350 cm.? band was tmtatively assigned as u14. u l o , and they also should give depolarized Ranian lines.
