Journal ArticleDOI
Reactions of laser-ablated aluminum atoms with nitrogen during condensation at 10 K. Infrared spectra and density functional calculations for AlxNy molecular species
TL;DR: In this article, the first experimental evidence for molecular Al2N and Al3N species that may be involved in ceramic film growth was provided. But this work is restricted to the case of laser-ablated aluminum atoms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Matrix infrared spectra of the C-H insertion and dihydrido cyclic products from reactions of group 3 metal atoms with ethylene.
Han-Gook Cho,Lester Andrews +1 more
TL;DR: The present results support the conclusion that C-H insertion and following H migration from C to M are in fact general phenomena in reactions of early transition metals (Groups 3-6) and actinides with ethylene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Observation and Characterization of CH3CH2-MH, (CH2)2-MH2, CH2═CH-MH3, and CH3-C≡MH3- Produced by Reactions of Group 5 Metal Atoms with Ethane.
Han-Gook Cho,Lester Andrews +1 more
TL;DR: The primary products in reactions of laser-ablated group 5 metal atoms with ethane were identified in argon matrix IR spectra and characterized via density functional theory computations, finding the C-M bond for the Nb and Ta ethylidyne anions is a true triple bond.
Journal ArticleDOI
Matrix photolysis of (C6H5)2CH2, (C6H5)2CHBr, (C6H5)2CHCl and (C6H5)2CCH2. Visible and ultraviolet spectra of the transient products
TL;DR: In this paper, the absorption spectra (1400−300 nm) of (C 6 H 5 ) 2 CH 2 samples in argon matrices subjected to argon resonance radiation are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infrared spectrum of SeF in solid argon
TL;DR: In this article, a low pressure flame with selenium atoms was generated by a microwave discharge in argon seeded with Se 2, and the products were trapped in solid argon; new infrared absorptions were found at 677.0 and 680.4 cm −1 for 80 Se 19 F and 76 SE 19 F, respectively.
