β¦ Synopsis
Picosecond infrared saturation-recovery experiments were performed to obtain measurements of the vibrational energy lifetimes ( r, ) of CO( v= 1) vibrations (Y GZ 1920-l 985 cm-' ) of carbonyl-containing metal complexes in dilute, room-temperature solutions. For relaxation of the F,, CO-stretching vibration of W( CO), in CCL, CHCls, n-hexane and benzene, T, was found to be T, = 800f 200, 480f 50, 140 k 15 and 60f 6 ps, respectively, while the same mode of Cr(C0)6 in these solvents gave T, ~440 f 70, 295 f 30, 145 f 25 and 59 k 6 ps. Monocarbonyl complexes with coordinated triphenylphosphine groups (TPP) have shorter CO( v= 1) lifetimes. These observations are rationalized in terms of molecular structure, intramolecular bonding, solvent interaction, and energy accepting vibrational modes.
