Neon Matrix Infrared Spectrum of WH6: A Distorted Trigonal Prism Structure
Xuefeng Wang,Lester Andrews +1 more
TL;DR: Excellent agreement between four observed neon matrix and four DFT calculated W-H stretching modes and bending and deformation modes confirms the present neon matrix preparation of WH(6) and the previous theoretical predictions of a distorted trigonal prism structure which is far from octahedral.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neon Matrix Infrared Spectra and DFT Calculations of Tungsten Hydrides WHx (x = 1−4, 6)
Xuefeng Wang,Lester Andrews +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the tungsten hydrides WH, WH2, WH3, WH4, and WH6 were identified by isotopic substitution and density functional theory calculations of vibrational fundamentals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reactions of Laser-Ablated Al, Ga, In, and Tl Atoms with Hydrogen Cyanide in Excess Argon. Matrix Infrared Spectra and Density Functional Theory Calculations on New Cyanide and Isocyanide Products
TL;DR: In this paper, laser-ablated Al, Ga, In, and Tl atoms react with hydrogen cyanide in the presence of excess argon to produce matrix-isolated linear cyanides and isocyanides, MCN and MNC, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infrared spectrum of CCH+ in solid argon and neon
TL;DR: In this article, laser-ablation of over ten different transition, lanthanide, and actinide metals with concurrent codeposition of acetylene/argon samples at 7 K produced metal independent absorptions for CCH, CCH−, C4H, and c4H2, in agreement with previous matrix isolation work.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formation of a Simple Hafnium Methylidene Complex by Reaction of Methyl Fluoride with Laser-Ablated Hafnium Atoms
Han-Gook Cho,Lester Andrews +1 more
TL;DR: The methylidene hafnium complex (CH2HfHF) is formed by reaction of methyl fluoride with laser-ablated Hfium atoms and isolated in a solid argon matrix as mentioned in this paper.
