Study of the infrared, mid-infrared, visible and ultraviolet spectra of copper chloride CuCl2. 2H2O Copper chloride

Abstract

The spectroscopic study of the copper chloride molecule (CuCl2.2H2O) was carried out in the wide spectrum range 〖cm〗^(-1) (40000 - 410), including the medium infrared, and the absorption bands of the basic transitions within this region were identified to the symmetric bond stretch ( ∑^+) 1Ʋ, asymmetric stretching of bonds (∑^+) 3Ʋ, which are non-degenerate vibrations, and symmetric angle bending Ʋ2(π) doubly degenerate. All these bands are active in the infrared and Raman field, due to the weak symmetry of this molecule.
