AbstractTwo topics are selected and illustrated to exemplify (i) a biological and (ii) an organic ionic intermediate. The reactivity behavior of NO adducts with ferric and ferrous hemes has shown remarkable similarities when examined in the gas phase, demonstrating that the largely different NO affinity displayed in solution and in biological media is due to the different coordination environment. In fact, ferrous hemes present a vacant or highly labile axial coordination site, prone to readily bind NO. The vibrational signatures of the NO ligand have also been probed in vacuo for the first time in the nitrosyl complexes deriving from ferrous and ferric hemes under strictly comparable five-coordination at the metal center. Negatively charged σ-adducts, from the association of anions with 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene, an exemplary π-electron-deficient arene, have been probed by IRMPD spectroscopy and found to display variable binding motifs from a strongly covalent σ-adduct (Meisenheimer complex) to a weakly covalent σ-complex, depending on the anion basicity.

Abstract Cesium hydroxide, CsOH, was for the first time characterised on the basis of single-crystal data. The structure is isotypic to the one of the room-temperature modification of NaOH and can be derived from the NaCl structure type thus allowing the comparison of all alkali metal hydroxide structures. Raman spectroscopic investigations show the hydroxide anion to behave almost as a free ion as in the gas phase. The X-ray investigations indicate possible H atom positions.

Abstract. Diiodomethane (CH2I2) photolysis in the presence of ozone is a suggested precursor to new particle aerosol formation, particularly in coastal areas. As part of the PNNL database of gas-phase infrared spectra, the quantitative absorption spectrum of CH2I2 has been acquired at 0.1 cm−1 resolution. Two strong b2 symmetry A-type bands at 584 and 1114 cm−1 are observed, but are not resolved at 760 Torr and appear as B-type. In contrast, the b1 symmetry C-type bands near 5953, 4426 and 3073 cm−1 are resolved with rotational structure, including Q-branches with widths ≤1 cm−1. The quantitative infrared and near-infrared vapor-phase spectra (600–10 000 cm−1) are reported for the first time and discussed in terms of atmospheric monitoring. FT-Raman spectra and ab initio calculations are used to complete vibrational assignments in the C2v point group.

Polyacetylene cations (HC2nH+) play important roles in combustion processes and in the chemistry of planetary atmospheres and interstellar clouds. Here we report the electronic spectrum for the triacetylene cation (HC6H+) recorded over the 300–610nm range by photodissociating mass-selected ions tagged with argon atoms in a tandem mass spectrometer. The spectrum shows three band systems that are assigned to (origin transition 16665cm−1), (origin transition 23916cm−1), and (origin transition 29920cm−1). Although the band system is well known, the and band systems are observed for the first time in the gas phase. In addition, the electronic spectrum of the protonated triacteylene cation tagged with an argon atom (HC6-Ar) is reported, providing the first gas-phase spectrum for this species.

We present interferometric observations of the CN(1–0) line emission in Mrk 231 and combine them with previous observations of CO and other H2 gas tracers to study the physical properties of the massive molecular outflow. We find a strong boost of the CN/CO(1–0) line luminosity ratio in the outflow of Mrk 231, which is unprecedented compared to any other known Galactic or extragalactic astronomical source. For the dense gas phase in the outflow traced by the HCN and CN emissions, we infer XCN ≡ [CN]/[H2]> XHCN by at least a factor of three, with H2 gas densities of nH2 ∼ 105−6 cm−3. In addition, we resolve for the first time narrow spectral features in the HCN(1–0) and HCO+(1–0) high-velocity line wings tracing the dense phase of the outflow. The velocity dispersions of these spectral features, σv ∼ 7−20 km s−1, are consistent with those of massive extragalactic giant molecular clouds detected in nearby starburst nuclei. The H2 gas masses inferred from the HCN data are quite high, Mmol ∼ 0.3−5 × 108 M⊙. Our results suggest that massive complexes of denser molecular gas survive embedded into the more diffuse H2 phase of the outflow, and that the chemistry of these outflowing dense clouds is strongly affected by UV radiation.

ABSTRACTThe growth of GaAs from triethylgallium (TEG) and trimethylgallium (TMG) with tertiarybutylarsine (tBAs), triethylarsenic (TEAs), and trimethylarsenic (TMAs), has been investigated by using a reactor equipped with a recording microbalance for in situ rate measurements. Rate data show that the growth with these precursors is dominated by the formation of adduct compounds in the gas lines, by adduct related parasitic gas phase reactions in the heated zone, and by the surface reactions. A model is proposed for the competition between deposition reactions and the parasitic gas phase reactions. Model predictions are in very good agreement with experimental data for all combinations of precursors except for TEG/TMAs where extensive gallium droplet formation is observed at low temperatures. Growth of reasonable quality GaAs with Hall mobilities of 7600 cm2/Vs at 77 K using TEG and tBAs is reported for the first time.
