Matrix-Isolation and Cold Diffusion of Mass-Selected Cs2.+ in Neon - Infrared Observation of the Asymmetric Stretch of Cs2.+ and Cs2.-
Vibrational spectroscopic characterization of neon matrices in which mass-selected CS2.+ and CS.+ were deposited reveals absorptions due to (nu(3)) CS2.+ (1207.1 cm(-1)) and (nu(3)) CS2.- (1159.4 cm(-1)). The results are compared to previous CO2.+ studies from this laboratory [Godbout et al. J. Phys. Chem. 1996, 100, 2892]. We also report controlled annealing studies of the matrices in which clustering of ionic species with neutral molecules is observed.
