Investigations of the double-double effect by IR spectroscopy
Journal of Inorganic and Nuclear Chemistry, 1980Abstract IR spectra of aurintricarboxylic, dimethylaurintricarboxylic, and trimethylaurintricarboxylic acids as well as their complexes with lanthanides were investigated. The complex-formation gave rise to two new bands corresponding to antisymmetric and symmetric stretching of the carboxylate ion. Also, a decrease in the relative intensity of the C
