Vanadium and titanium have been codeposited with molecular hydrogen in Kr and Ar matrices at 12 K. Both metals show photoreactivity toward molecular hydrogen and undergo insertion into the H-H bond to form metal dihydrides, MH2 (M = Ti, V). The symmetric and antisymmetric stretching frequencies have been detected for both VH2 and TiH2. The bond angles for TiH2 and VH2 were estimated to be 145 +/- 5-degrees and 127 +/- 5-degrees, respectively. The stretching force constants for TiH2 and VH2 were calculated to be 1.29 and 1.44 mdyn/angstrom, respectively. Vanadium monohydride was also identified as a photolysis product. Vibrational band assignments have also been made for TiH4. Small titanium clusters, Ti(n) were isolated and shown to react spontaneously with H-2.
Effect of the hydrogen absorption on the magnetic properties of a Ce2Fe16Mn single crystal has been investigated in magnetic fields up to 140 kOe and in the temperature range 1.7-300 K. A metamagnetic transition from the helical antiferromagnetic structure into the ferromagnetic phase was observed. The temperature dependence of the transition critical field H-CR(T) has a maximum at 130 K. Hydrogenation leads to suppressing of the antiferromagnetic state. The relationship between the magnetic properties of the Ce2Fe16Mn compound and the unit cell volume upon hydrogenation has been analysed. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
