The preparation and the IR study of some compounds of the type (arene)Co4(CO)9 (where arene denotes toluene, tetrahydronaphthalene, or mesitylene) are reported. The CO stretching bands in the spectra of the compounds have been assigned, and the force and interaction constants calculated. The relative band intensities have been used in a tentative determination of bond angles and relative dipole moment gradients. The “anomalously” high intensity of the v3(E) bands is discussed in detail, and an induced dipole moment mechanism is suggested to account for it.
