Abstract
Understanding NO x chemistry at titania nanoparticle surfaces is important for photocatalytic environmental remediation processes. We focus on this problem and put forward an experimental-computational approach based on vibrational spectroscopy grounds. Temperature-dependent IR experiments of NO x adsorption on shape-engineered nanoparticle (101) anatase surfaces are paired with power spectra obtained from Born-Oppenheimer trajectories. Then, the harmonic versus anharmonic vibrational frequencies of several adsorption scenarios are directly compared with the IR experiments. We conclude that molecules are adsorbed mainly by the N-end side and both the intermolecular interactions between adsorbed molecules and (NO)2 dimer formation are responsible for the main NO adsorption spectroscopic features. We also investigate the spectroscopy and the mechanism of formation on defective anatase surfaces of the long-lived greenhouse gas N2O.

Abstract
The microscopic structure of nitric oxide is investigated using neutron scattering experiments. The measurements are performed at various temperatures between 120 and 144 K and at pressures between 1.1 and 9 bar. Using the technique of empirical potential structure refinement (EPSR), our results show that the dimer is the main form, around 80%, of nitric oxide in the liquid phase at 120 K, but the degree of dissociation to monomers increases with increasing temperature. The reported degree of dissociation of dimers, and its trend with increasing temperature, is consistent with earlier measurements and studies. It is also shown that nonplanar dimers are not inconsistent with the diffraction data and that the possibility of nitric oxide molecules forming longer oligomers, consisting of bonded nitrogen atoms along the backbone, cannot be ruled out in the liquid. A molecular dynamics simulation is used to compare the present EPSR simulations with an earlier proposed intermolecular potential for the liquid.

Abstract
The electron impact ionization of helium droplets doped with ethylene molecules and clusters yields diverse CXHY + cations embedded in the droplets. The ionization primarily produces C2H2 +, C2H3 +, C2H4 +, and CH2 +, whereas larger carbocations are produced upon the reactions of the primary ions with ethylene molecules. The vibrational excitation of the cations leads to the release of bare cations and cations with a few helium atoms attached. The laser excitation spectra of the embedded cations show well resolved vibrational bands with a few wavenumber widths-an order of magnitude less than those previously obtained in solid matrices or molecular beams by tagging techniques. Comparison with the previous studies of free and tagged CH2 +, CH3 +, C2H2 +, C2H3 +, and C2H4 + cations shows that the helium matrix typically introduces a shift in the vibrational frequencies of less than about 20 cm-1, enabling direct comparisons with the results of quantum chemical calculations for structure determination. This work demonstrates a facile technique for the production and spectroscopic study of diverse carbocations, which act as important intermediates in gas and condensed phases.

Abstract
Although the "brown-ring" ion, [Fe(H2 O)5 (NO)]2+ (1), has been a research target for more than a century, this poorly stable species had never been isolated. We now report on the synthesis of crystals of a salt of 1 which allowed us to tackle the unique bonding situation on an experimental basis. As a result of the bonding analysis, two stretched, spin-polarised π-interactions provide the Fe-NO binding-and challenge the concept of "oxidation state".
