Experimental and Theoretical Evidence for the Formation of Several Uranium Hydride Molecules
TL;DR: In this paper, the primary reaction products of laser-ablated uranium atoms with dihydrogen (UH, UH2 and UH3) were isolated for the first time in solid argon and identified by the effects of isotopic substitution on their infrared spectra.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reactions of Laser-Ablated Ni, Pd, and Pt Atoms with Carbon Monoxide: Matrix Infrared Spectra and Density Functional Calculations on M(CO)n (n = 1−4), M(CO)n- (n = 1−3), and M(CO)n+ (n = 1−2), (M = Ni, Pd, Pt)
TL;DR: In this paper, the laser-ablated Ni, Pd, and Pt atoms have been reacted with CO molecules followed by condensation in excess neon at 4 K. Besides the neutral metal carbonyl species, metal carbinar anions [M(CO)n-n- (n...
Journal ArticleDOI
Reactions of Laser-Ablated Ag and Au Atoms with Carbon Monoxide: Matrix Infrared Spectra and Density Functional Calculations on Ag(CO)n (n = 2, 3), Au(CO)n (n = 1, 2) and M(CO)n+ (n = 1−4; M = Ag, Au)

TL;DR: In this paper, laser-ablated Ag and Au atoms have been reacted with CO molecules followed by condensation in excess neon at 4 K. Besides the neutral carbonyls, metal carbonyl cations [M(CO)n+ (n = 1−4)] have been formed and identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polyfluoride Anions, a Matrix-Isolation and Quantum-Chemical Investigation
TL;DR: The isolated [F(3)](-) anion in solid argon and neon environments is reported and quantum-chemical calculations up to and including the CCSD(T) method are carried out to investigate the stabilities of polyfluoride anions higher than the [F (3))- anion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reactions of pulsed-laser ablated aluminum atoms with hydrogen: infrared spectra of aluminum hydride (AlH, AlH2, AlH3, and Al2H2) species
TL;DR: In this article, pulsesed laser evaporated Al atoms were reacted with H 2 in excess argon during condensation at 10 K. Matrix infrared spectra, deuterium substitution, and ab initio calculations identified AlH, AlH 2, AlH 3, and several Al 2 H 2 species.
