摘要:
Infrared spectra of the products of the photoinduced reaction of P2 and molecular oxygen in solid argon at 12 K have been recorded. Concentration studies showed that the products were derived from the photolysis of phosphorus-oxygen clusters, (P2)x(O2)y, where x = 1, 2 and y = 2-5. In argon matrices with 1, 2, and 3% O2, the major products of the reaction were oxo-bridged P2O3 and two isomers of oxo-bridged P2O4. With 5% O2 the products included P2O5, and the P4 oxides, P4O4, P4O6, P4O8, and P4O10. The wavelength dependence of the photochemistry showed that reaction was initiated by one or more of the forbidden excited electronic states of P2 accessed by absorption in the 220-380 nm region. Structural effects on the P-O-P bridge and the terminal -PO2 and -PO group frequencies are discussed.
