Infrared, Raman, and visible spectroscopic studies of Zn and Cd matrix reactions with ozone. Spectra of metal ozonides and oxides in solid argon and nitrogen
摘要:
Reactions of zinc and cadmium atoms with ozone during condensation with excess nitrogen or argon produced B+O3− ion-pairs having infrared, Raman, and optical spectra similar to the analogous alkali and alkaline earth metal species. Additional infrared and Raman evidence was found for a different B+O3− ion-pair geometry. Mercury arc photolysis reduced ozonide absorptions and produced new 810 cm−1 zinc isotopic triplets which showed the appropriate 18O shifts for ZnO, and a new 719 cm−1 band which showed the proper 18O displacement for CdO. This nitrogen matrix work provides good measures of the yet-to-be-observed gas-phase fundamentals of these high temperature oxides.
