Journal ArticleDOI
IR Spectra and DFT Calculations of M–η2‐(NC)–CH3, CH3–MNC, and CH2=M(H)NC Prepared by Reactions of Laser‐Ablated Hf and Ti Atoms with Acetonitrile
TL;DR: In this article, the most stable components in the previously proposed reaction path for reactions of metal atoms with acetonitrile, in line with the observed products in other metal systems and DFT calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infrared Spectra of CX3–AuCl and CX2–AuCl2 Generated in Reactions of Laser-Ablated Gold Atoms with Chlorofluoromethanes and Carbon Tetrachloride
Han-Gook Cho,Lester Andrews +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the CX3-AuCl insertion by Au readily occurs, consistent with previous Au investigations, and subsequent X migration also follows in case the methylidene is reachable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reactions of Laser-Ablated Osmium and Ruthenium Atoms with Nitric Oxide in Neon and Argon. Matrix Infrared Spectra and Density Functional Calculations of Os(NO)1-3, Ru(NO)1-3, NOsO, NRuO, OsNO+ and RuNO+
Angelo Citra and,Lester Andrews +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, laser-ablated osmium and ruthenium are reacted with nitric oxide and the products are isolated in solid neon and argon, showing that density functional theory (DFT) calculations effectively reproduce the experimental observations and predict frequencies of chemically useful accuracy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Boron-Transition-Metal Triple-Bond FB≡MF2 Complexes.
TL;DR: The experimental observation of FB stabilization by heavy transition-metal atoms with triple bonds opens the door to design new boron-transition-metal complexes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infrared Spectra of Manganese Insertion, Vinyl, and Cyclic Complexes Prepared in Reactions of Laser-Ablated Mn Atoms with Methane, Ethane, Ethyl Chloride, and 1,2-Dichloroethane
Han-Gook Cho,Lester Andrews +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the precursors of vanadium insertion, vinyl insertion, and cyclic complexes were prepared in direct reactions of excited Mn atoms with CH4, C2H6, C 2H5Cl, and CH2ClCH2Cl, all with sextet ground states.
