Subject: M-NO2 frequencies

I'm trying to distinguish a Co-NO2 complex from a Co-O-NO complex using mid-IR.
The complexes are low-spin, closed-shell, and I'm wondering what theoretical
model might give reasonable predictions for the ligand's vibrational
frequencies.

Any experience with this problem or pointers to published articles would be
appreciated. Thanks,

-Alan
