Below (top of next page) are shown two possible configurations for a metal center with six cyanide (CN): a trigonal prism (A) and the trigonal anti-prism (B). a. Assign the point groups for A and B assuming the M-C bond distances are the same and that the C-N bond distances are the same. Also, all C-M-C bond angles for nearest neighbor cyanide ligands are 90°. b. Determine the irreducible representations for the C-N stretching vibrations in A and B (you will first need to find the reducible for these modes and then reduce that representation). Identify the number of IR and Raman active modes for A and B. c. d. State and explain whether one can distinguish between the two possible geometries using only IR spectroscopy.
