Journal ArticleDOI
Infrared Spectrum of the H3N−HCl Complex in Solid Ne, Ne/Ar, Ar, and Kr. Matrix Effects on a Strong Hydrogen-Bonded Complex
TL;DR: In this article, strong, broad 2084 cm-1 and strong, sharp 1060.2 cm 1 absorptions are assigned to the H−Cl stretching and symmetric NH3 bending modes and weaker 2017.4 and 708.9 cm 1 bands to the overtone of the NH3 mode.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infrared spectra and electronic structures of agostic uranium methylidene molecules.
TL;DR: The agostic uranium methylidene complexes are compared with analogous transition metal and thorium complexes, which reveal interesting differences in their chemistries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Matrix Infrared Spectra and DFT Calculations of the Reactive MHx (x = 1, 2, and 3), (H2)MH2, MH2+, and MH4- (M = Sc, Y, and La) Species
TL;DR: In this article, annealing of laser-ablated Sc, Y, and La react with molecular hydrogen to give molecular hydrogen during condensation in excess argon for characterization by matrix infrared spectroscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Precious Metal−Molecular Oxygen Complexes: Neon Matrix Infrared Spectra and Density Functional Calculations for M(O2), M(O2)2 (M = Pd, Pt, Ag, Au)
Xuefeng Wang and,Lester Andrews +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, laser-ablated palladium, platinum, silver, and gold atoms react with molecular oxygen in excess neon during condensation at 4 K. Reaction products, M-(η2-OO), M(η 2-OO)2 (M = Pd, Pt, Pt), PtO, PtO 2, PtO2, Au...
Journal ArticleDOI
Infrared spectra, structure and bonding in the LiO2, LiO2Li, LiO and Li2O molecules in solid neon
Xuefeng Wang,Lester Andrews +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the subject molecules were trapped in solid neon and identified by isotopic shifts, comparison with earlier argon and nitrogen matrix results, and DFT frequency calculations, and observed neon-argon matrix shifts follow the molecular polarities.
