Side-Bonded Pd-η2-(C2H2)1,2 and Pd2-η2-(C2H2) Complexes: Infrared Spectra and Density Functional Calculations

TL;DR: In this paper, the Pd-C2H2 π complex is characterized by a C−C and C−H stretching mode near 1710 cm-1 and a 39.8 kcal/mol binding energy predicted by DFT.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reactions of Laser-Ablated Molybdenum and Tungsten Atoms with Dioxygen. Resolved Infrared Spectra of Natural Molybdenum and Tungsten Isotopic Oxides in Argon Matrices

TL;DR: In this paper, laser-ablated molybdenum and tungsten atoms were reacted with dioxygen and 18O-substituted DIOYGEN and the products of these reactions were isolated in solid argon matrices at 10 K and studied by matrix infrared spectroscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Photoelectron spectroscopic study of the ground states of chloromethyl(+), dichloromethyl(+), and chlorofluoromethyl(+) cations

TL;DR: Etude du spectre photoelectron des cations, a l'etat fondamental, CH 2 Cl +, CHCl 2 +, and CHFCl + produits par ionisation des radicaux libres correspondants; comparaison avec les resultats obtenus for les radicails libres as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Infrared Spectra of HC≡C-MH and M-η2-(C2H2) from Reactions of Laser-Ablated Group-4 Transition-Metal Atoms with Acetylene

TL;DR: Reactions of laser-ablated group 4 transition-metal atoms with acetylene have been carried out and the back-donations from the group 4 metals to the antibonding pi* orbital of C2H2 are extensive such that the group 3 metals form unusually strong pi complexes.
