The results of an infrared and Raman spectroscopic study are reported for seven new metal(II) 8-hydroxyquinoline tetracyanonickelate complexes, M(8-HQ)(2) Ni(CN)(4) [where (8-HQ) = 8-hydroxyquinoline; M = Mn, Fe, Co, Zn, Ni, Cu or Cd]. Spectroscopic and magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate that the compounds have the structure of Hofmann-type complexes. The copper complex has spectral features different from the other six compounds. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
