Journal ArticleDOI

Photochemistry of water-fluorine complexes in solid argon: infrared spectra of HF--HOF, HO--HF, and FO--HF complexes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used HONDO 7.0 and the DZP basis set to support the identification of new F 2 +H 2 O product complexes, including HF-HOF, FH-FOH, and FH--OHF.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structures and Properties of the Products of the Reaction of Lanthanide Atoms with H2O: Dominance of the +II Oxidation State.

TL;DR: The reactions of lanthanides with H2O have been studied using density functional theory with the B3LYP functional and the orbital populations calculated within the natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis are consistent with the oxidation states and reaction energies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Infrared Spectra of the Complexes Os←NCCH3, Re←NCCH3, CH3–ReNC, CH2═Re(H)NC, and CH≡Re(H)2NC and their Mn Counterparts Prepared by Reactions of Laser-Ablated Os, Re, and Mn Atoms with Acetonitrile in Excess Argon

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the Agostic interaction in the methylidene complex is apparently insignificant and this rare observation of a methylidyne product with Re reflects that H migration in the isocyanide system is less favorable than those in the hydride and halide analogues.
