Chemistry Department, Agra College, Agra-282 002 Manuscript received 19 October 1981, accepted 28 April 1982 FIR studies of copper(II) acetate monohydrate, fluoroacetate dihydrate, chloroacetate tetrahydrate and bromoacetate monohydrate have been made in crystalline state at room temperature and at low temperature. The number of Cu-O bands, active in ir, have been calculated theoretically for different possible moieties around Cu atom in the complexes and compared with the total number of bands actually observed in the spectra. A tentative assignment of Cu-O bands have been proposed. On the basis of shifting of Cu-O stretching bands, bridged cage type mode of coordination of the carboxylate ligand to the Cu atom and dimeric bridged cage, structure of the complexes have been established.
