Evidence has been reported for two isomers of Ru(CO)2(PEt2)3, one with the carbonyls occupying axial positions in a trigonal- Bipyramidal structure and the other with the carbonyls occupying equatorial positions. Could infrared spectroscopy distinguish between these isomers? How many carbon–oxygen stretching vibrations would be expected for each? (See M. Ogasawara, F. Maseras, N. Gallego-Planas, W. E. Streib, O. Eisenstein, K. G. Caulton, Inorg. Chem. , 1996 , 35 , 7468.)
