TL;DR: The high-temperature pyrolytic reaction of (CH 3 ) 3 Al with H 2 S followed by trapping into argon matrices at 14 K has led to the formation and isolation of molecular Al 2 S 3. Identification was made based on band positions, lack of deuterium shift, and the observation of CH 3 D when D 2 S was employed, and a poor spectral match to known aluminum sulfides.
Abstract: The high-temperature pyrolytic reaction of (CH 3 ) 3 Al with H 2 S followed by trapping into argon matrices at 14 K has led to the formation and isolation of molecular Al 2 S 3 . Identification was made based on band positions, lack of deuterium shift, the observation of CH 3 D when D 2 S was employed, and a poor spectral match to known aluminum sulfides and by analogy to the molecular species B 2 O 3 and Al 2 O 3 . The spectra are suggestive of a V-shaped molecule, also similar to B 2 O 3 and in contrast to the linear structure of Al 2 O 3

TL;DR: In this paper, local density functional calculations of the vibrational spectrum of this compound were carried out to aid in the search for absorption of H 2 BOH, and the difference between the microwave study and the present study persisted despite very similar reaction conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, the 1:1 molecular adducts of trimethylgallium with methanol, methanethiol and hydrogen sulfide were isolated and characterized using the matrix isolation technique with FT-IR detection.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the 1.193 nm excimer laser irradiation of Ar/C6F6 samples during deposition onto a cryogenic surface has led to the formation and isolation of a range of products, the dominant being hexafluoro-Dewar benzene.
Abstract: 193 nm excimer laser irradiation of Ar/C6F6 samples during deposition onto a cryogenic surface has led to the formation and isolation of a range of products, the dominant being hexafluoro-Dewar benzene. Additional absorptions likely due to the previously unreported hexafluorobenzvalene were observed, along with extensive fragmentation and additional minor products. When either Cl2 or CCl4 was doped into the Ar/C6F6 sample as an electron trap, a number of additional product bands were noted. A few of these were destroyed by subsequent Hg arc irradiation, and at least one is tentatively assigned to the C6F6
