Journal ArticleDOI
Infrared spectrum of the CH3-PtH complex in solid argon prepared in the oxidative C-H insertion of methane by laser-ablated Pt atoms.
Han-Gook Cho,Lester Andrews +1 more
TL;DR: Reactions of laser-ablated Pt atoms with CH(4) during condensation in excess argon form CH(3)-PtH through oxidative C-H insertion show and that the late transition-metal atom Pt is an effective methane activation reagent, in agreement with gas phase investigations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resonance Raman effect in matrix isolated photolytically produced monomeric iodine: An investigation of the excitation profiles of the overtones
TL;DR: In this article, high intensity resonance Raman overtone progressions out to ν = 3, 14, 23, 24, 25, 17, and 3 have been observed with 457.9 nm, 476.5 nm, 514.0 nm, 530.2 nm, and 647.1 nm excitation respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bonding of Multiple Noble-Gas Atoms to CUO in Solid Neon: CUO(Ng)n (Ng=Ar, Kr, Xe; n=1, 2, 3, 4) Complexes and the Singlet–Triplet Crossover Point
TL;DR: A coordination sphere model in which CUO in solid neon is initially solvated by four or more Ne atoms is suggested, which suggests a crossover from a singlet ground state to a triplet ground state.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infrared spectra of the very weak H2‐‐HF and O2‐‐HF complexes in solid neon
Rodney D. Hunt,Lester Andrews +1 more
TL;DR: Very weak, hydrogen bonded complexes of molecular hydrogen and oxygen with HF have been prepared by condensing the neon diluted reagents at 4-5 K as discussed by the authors. But argon is not an effectively inert medium for very weak complexes where interaction with the solid argon environment is competitive with the H2−HF and O2-HF interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infrared Spectra and Quantum Chemical Calculations of the Bridge-Bonded HC(F)LnF2 (Ln = La–Lu) Complexes
TL;DR: In this paper, deuterium substitution and density functional theory frequency calculations were used to identify metal-fluorine stretching modes for fluoromethylene lanthanide difluoride complex.
