Reactions of Iron Atoms with Nitric Oxide and Carbon Monoxide in Excess Argon: Infrared Spectra and Density Functional Calculations of Iron Carbonyl Nitrosyl Complexes†

TL;DR: In this article, a series of iron carbonyl nitrosyl complexes are formed as reaction products during sample deposition and further annealing, which leads to dominance for the saturated Fe(CO)2(NO)2 complex.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nitrogen matrix reactions of alkaline earth metal atoms with ozone: Infrared spectra of the alkaline earth metal oxide molecules

TL;DR: In this article, the infrared spectra of the alkaline earth metal−ozone−nitrogen reaction mixtures were obtained, and the frequencies of the ALM oxide molecules were measured in nitrogen matrices.
Journal ArticleDOI

Laser-excited fluorescence of calcium dimer in inert gas matrices

TL;DR: In this paper, a strong, red, laser-excited fluorescence has been observed for Ca2 in inert gas matrices, where band origins were located using calcium-44 substitution and the spectroscopic constants were determined for the ground state van der Waals molecule in several different sites in solid argon and one site in solid xenon.
Journal ArticleDOI

[CH3MoF], [CH2MoHF], and [CHMoH2F] Formed by Reaction of Laser-Ablated Molybdenum Atoms with Methyl Fluoride: Persistent Photoreversible Interconversion through α-Hydrogen Migration and Agostic Interaction

TL;DR: In this paper, density functional theory calculations show that one of the alpha-hydrogen atoms of the carbene complex is considerably bent toward the metal atom (angle-spherical HCMo=84.5 degrees ), which provides evidence of a strong agostic interaction in the triplet ground state.
