Infrared Spectra Of The Li +_(H 2)N(N=1-3) Cation Complexes, C Emmeluth, B L. J Poad, C D. Thompson, G H. Weddle, E J. Bieske
Infrared Spectra Of The Li +_(H 2)N(N=1-3) Cation Complexes, C Emmeluth, B L. J Poad, C D. Thompson, G H. Weddle, E J. Bieske
Berwyck L. J. Poad
The Li+–(H2)n n = 1–3 complexes are investigated through infrared spectra recorded in the H–H stretch region (3980–4120 cm−1) and through ab initio calculations at the MP2∕aug-cc-pVQZ level. The rotationally resolved H–H stretch band of Li+–H2 is centered at 4053.4 cm−1 [a −108 cm−1 shift from the Q1(0) transition of H2]. The spectrum exhibits rotational substructure consistent with the complex possessing a T-shaped equilibrium geometry, with the Li+ ion attached to a slightly perturbed H2 molecule. Around 100 rovibrational transitions belonging to parallel Ka = 0‐0, 1-1, 2-2, and 3-3 subbands are observed. The Ka = 0‐0 and 1-1 transitions …

Berwyck L. J. Poad
Infrared spectra are recorded for Al+–(CH4)n n = 1–6 clusters in the CH stretch region (2800–3100 cm−1). The spectra, which are obtained by monitoring photofragmentation in a tandem mass spectrometer, are dominated by a single, narrow band corresponding to the totally symmetric C–H stretching mode of the CH4 subunits (rendered infrared active through the interaction with the Al+ cation). This band shifts progressively to higher wavenumber as the clusters becomes larger, concomitant with a weakening of the intermolecular Al+⋯CH4 bonds. Supporting ab initio calculations for the n = …
Infrared Spectra Of Cl-_(C6h6)Mm=1, 2, Christopher Thompson, Berwyck Poad, Corinna Emmeluth, Evan Bieske
Infrared Spectra Of Cl-_(C6h6)Mm=1, 2, Christopher Thompson, Berwyck Poad, Corinna Emmeluth, Evan Bieske
Berwyck L. J. Poad
The Cl--(C6H6)Arn n = 0,1,2 and Cl--(C6H6)2 complexes are investigated using photodissociation infrared spectroscopy in the CH stretch region and through ab initio calculations at the MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ level. The results indicate that Cl--C6H6 possesses a planar structure in which the benzene molecule is attached to the Cl- anion by a double hydrogen bond. The calculations predict that Cl (C6H6)2 has a C2 symmetry structure in which the two face-to-face benzene molecules are attached to …
