Journal ArticleDOI
Infrared spectrum of the CH3OCH2 radical in solid argon.
Yu Gong,Lester Andrews +1 more
TL;DR: In the matrix near-UV irradiation destroys the CH(3)OCH(2) radical with the formation of HCO radical and CH(4), which is different from the decomposition mechanism of CH( 3)O CH( 2) radical to H (2)CO and CH (3) radical proposed for the gas phase process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reaction of boron atoms with ethylene: ab initio study of the borirane radical
TL;DR: In this paper, the structure, vibrational properties and bonding of the borirane radical has been examined using self-consistent field theory and second-order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
IR spectra of uranium hydride molecules isolated in solid argon
TL;DR: The primary reaction products of laser-ablated uranium atoms with dihydrogen (UH, UH2, U2H2 and UH3) were isolated for the first time in an argon matrix and identified by the effects of isotopic substitution on their IR spectra as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infrared spectra of M-η2-C2H2 and HM-C≡CH produced in reactions of laser-ablated group 6 metal atoms with acetylene.
TL;DR: In annealing, the π complex is produced, and it converts to the insertion product during photolysis with no trace of the vinylidene product, consistent with the considerably higher activation energy to H(2)CCM than that to HM-CCH in the previously proposed reaction path.
Journal ArticleDOI
Properties of Lanthanide Hydroxide Molecules Produced in Reactions of Lanthanide Atoms with H2O2 and H2 + O2 Mixtures: Roles of the +I, +II, +III, and +IV Oxidation States
Xuefeng Wang,Xuefeng Wang,Lester Andrews,Zongtang Fang,K. Sahan Thanthiriwatte,Mingyang Chen,David A. Dixon +6 more
TL;DR: Laser-ablated lanthanide metal atoms with hydrogen peroxide or hydrogen plus oxygen mixtures are studied experimentally in a solid argon matrix and theoretically with the ab initio MP2 and CCSD(T) methods.
