Journal ArticleDOI
Infrared spectra of hydrogen fluoride complexes with tetrachloromethane, trichloromethane, and dichloromethane in solid argon
Rodney D. Hunt,Lester Andrews +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the IR spectra of CCl{sub 4} and HF were characterized by infrared spectroscopy, and the major product absorption at 3901 cm{sup {minus}1} was assigned to the anti-hydrogen-bonded complex, Ch{sub 2}Cl{ sub 2}-FH.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reactions of Laser-Ablated U Atoms with HCN: Infrared Spectra in Solid Argon and Quantum Chemical Calculations for HUNC
TL;DR: In this article, an argon matrix infrared spectrum of strong N-C and U-H stretching modes at 2028 and 1417 cm-1 was used to identify the HUCN isomer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infrared spectra of metallacyclopropane, insertion, and dihydrido complex products in reactions of laser-ablated group 6 metal atoms with ethylene molecules.
Han-Gook Cho,Lester Andrews +1 more
TL;DR: Results support the general trend that the higher oxidation-state complexes become more stable on going down the group 6 column, and show that the dihydrido complex is formed by beta-hydrogen transfer in the insertion complex because the MHD-CHCD isotopic product is favored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infrared spectra and density functional calculations for SMO2 molecules (M = Cr, Mo, W).
Xuefeng Wang,Lester Andrews +1 more
TL;DR: Computed pyramidal structures for the SMO2 molecules are very similar to those for the analogous trioxides and this functional group in [MO2S(bdt)]2- complexes and additional weaker absorptions are assigned to the (SO2)(SMO2) adducts, which are stabilized by a four-membered ring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emission Spectra of Group 13 Metal Atoms and Indium Hydrides in Solid H2 and D2
TL;DR: In this article, the infrared spectra of solid hydrogen (deuterium) samples co-deposited at 3.5 K with laser-ablated Al, Ga, In, and Tl atoms reveal infrared absorptions for the MH [MD] molecules.
