Structure Determination of Small, Transition Metal-Containing Ions by Matrix Isolation/Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy

这项研究是实验物理化学计划的一部分，旨在研究离子分子反应中形成的反应中间产物的结构和能级。形成的中间体将通过质谱学技术进行质量选择，然后被捕获在稀有气体基质中进行光谱研究。这些研究将产生所研究物种的结构和振动能级。这项研究中开发的专业知识将使质谱学家能够确定离子反应中间体的结构、振动能级和势能面，以及它们的质量。要研究的反应中间体包括离子金属羰基和离子金属胺。

This research, part of the Experimental Physical Chemistry Program, is designed to study the structure and energy levels of reaction intermediates formed during ion molecule reactions. The intermediates formed will be mass selected, using mass spectrometric techniques, and then trapped in a rare gas matrix for spectroscopic investigation. These studies will yield the structures and vibrational energy levels of the species studied. The expertise developed in this research will enable mass spectroscopists to determine the structures, vibrational energy levels and potential energy surfaces of ionic reaction intermediates in addition to their mass. The reaction intermediates to be studied include ionic metal carbonyls and ionic metal amines.
