Question
The IR absorption spectrum of CrO2 has a strong band at 975 cml and weaker
bands at 921 cm- and 220 cm-1.
Assign the observed vibrations to
i) O-Cr-O antisymmetric stretch
ii) O-Cr-O symmetric stretch
iii) bend
Based on the spectrum, is CrO2 linear or bent? Explain.
A weak absorption is also observed at 1940 cm1. What is this vibration due
to? (Assign the vibration)
