Journal ArticleDOI
Methane Activation by Laser-Ablated Group 3 Metal Atoms: Infrared Spectra and Structures of the CH3−MH and CH2−MH2 Complexes
Han-Gook Cho,Lester Andrews +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the number of valence electrons of the metal is evidently an important factor in the magnitude of the agostic interaction in simple methylidene dihydride systems, and two primary products, CH3−MH and CH2−MH2, are identified for each metal from the matrix IR spectra.
Journal ArticleDOI
FTIR spectra of base-hydrogen fluoride hydrogen-bonded complexes in solid argon
TL;DR: In this paper, the Fourier-transform infrared spectra of the samples before and after sample warming to allow reagent diffusion and association provide identification of 1:1 and 1:2 hydrogen-bonded complexes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic circular dichroism spectra of alkaline earth metal atoms, dimers, and aggregates in noble gas matrices
TL;DR: In this paper, the magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) of Mg, Ca, and Sr atoms, dimers, and higher aggregates have been studied after codeposition with noble gases at low temperatures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Matrix Infrared Spectra and Theoretical Studies of Thorium Oxide Species: ThOx and Th2Oy
Lester Andrews,Yu Gong,Binyong Liang,Virgil E. Jackson,Ryan Flamerich,Shenggang Li,David A. Dixon +6 more
TL;DR: Infrared spectra of three new thorium oxide species have been obtained in argon and neon matrixes and it is predicted that Th(2)O(4) is predicted to have nonplanar C(2h) symmetry for its closed shell singlet ground state.
Journal ArticleDOI
Matrix reactions of molecular oxygen and ozone with aluminum atoms
TL;DR: In this article, the principal reaction product in N/sub 2/ or Ar matrices with either isotopic oxygen substitution, variations in the concentrations of reagents, and changes in band intensities after reagent diffusion and reaction in the matrix were analyzed.
