A transition metal chloride (MCl2) combines with pyridine and
DMSO to give a metal complex with a formula MCl2(DMSO)3(py). The
FT-IR spectrum (in the range from 1425 to 300 cm-1) of the complex
is shown below.
(a) Based on the spectral information above, through which atom
do the DMSO ligand bond to central M2+ ion?
(b) Explain your answer in (a) above.
