Binding Motifs for Lanthanide Hydrides: A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Study of the MHx(H2)y Species (M = La−Gd; x = 1−4; y = 0−6)
TL;DR: This investigation shows that the trihydrides bind dihydrogen more weakly than the diHydrides and that the interaction between the central lanthanide and the H(2) molecules occurs via a 6s electron transfer from the lanthanides to the H2 molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infrared Spectra of Simple Methylidyne, Methylidene, and Insertion Complexes Generated in Reactions of Laser-Ablated Rhodium Atoms with Halomethanes and Ethane
Han-Gook Cho,Lester Andrews +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, small rhodium carbene complexes, such as CX2+RhX2, CXH+CX2 and CH2+C2−C2, were identified in the product matrix infrared spectra from reactions of laser-ablated Rh atoms with tetra-, tri-, and dihalomethanes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Matrix reactions of P4 and P2 with O3 molecules
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used both heated GaP and discharge of P 4 from white phosphorus as sources of P 2 to identify P 4 O terminal and bridged isomers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of the Reaction Products of Laser-Ablated Early Lanthanide Metal Atoms with Dinitrogen. Infrared Spectra of LnN, LnN2, (LnN)2, and Ln(NN)x Molecules
TL;DR: In this paper, the first part of a systematic study of small nitride molecules and simple dinitrogen complexes of the lanthanide metals except promethium was presented, and several reaction pathways to formation of the small nitrides have been explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infrared Spectra of the η2-M(NC)-CH3, CH3-MNC, and CH2═M(H)NC Complexes Prepared by Reactions of Thorium and Uranium Atoms with Acetonitrile
Han-Gook Cho,Lester Andrews +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the matrix IR spectra from reactions of laser-ablated Th and U atoms with acetonitrile was analyzed, and the N-coordination and methylidyne products (M←NCCH3 and HCM(H)2NC) were observed.
