Abstract
Small anionic nickel clusters with ethanol are investigated with a combination of mass-selective infrared photodissociation spectroscopy in a molecular beam and density functional theory simulations at the BLYP/6-311g(d,p) and TPSSh/def2-TZVPP level. In this context, the O-H stretching vibration of the ethanol is analyzed to obtain information about the structural motif, the geometry of the metal core, and the spin state of the clusters. For the [Ni2(EtOH)]- and [Ni3(EtOH)]- clusters, we assign quartet states of motifs with a hydrogen bond from the ethanol to the linear nickel core. The aggregation of a further ethanol molecule, yielding the [Ni3(EtOH)2]- cluster, results in the formation of a cooperative hydrogen bond network between the nickel core and the two ethanol molecules.

Abstract
We present a conceptually simple model for understanding the significant spectral changes that occur with the temperature in the infrared spectra of hydrogen-bound complexes. We have measured room-temperature spectra of the methanol dimer and two deuterated isotopologues in the OH(D)-stretching region. We correctly predict spectral changes observed in the gas phase for the bound OH stretch in the methanol dimer from jet-cooled to room temperature and corroborate this with experimental and theoretical results for deuterated isotopologues. The origin of the observed spectral features is explained based on a reduced-dimensional vibrational model, which includes the two high-frequency OH stretches, the two methyl torsions, and the six intermolecular low-frequency vibrations. Key to the success of the model is a new coordinate definition to describe the intrinsic large-amplitude curvilinear motion of low-frequency vibrations. Despite the deceivingly simple appearance of the room temperature bound OH-stretching fundamental band, it consists of ∼107 vibrational transitions.

Abstract
We have detected the tert-butyl hydroperoxide dimer, (t-BuOOH)2, in the gas phase at room temperature using conventional FTIR techniques. The dimer is identified by an asymmetric absorbance band assigned to the fundamental hydrogen-bound OHb-stretch. The weighted band maximum of the dimer OHb-stretch is located at ∼3452 cm-1, red-shifted by ∼145 cm-1 from the monomer OH-stretching band. The gas-phase dimer assignment is supported by Ar matrix isolation FTIR experiments at 12 K and experiments with a partially deuterated sample. Computationally, we find the lowest energy structure of (t-BuOOH)2 to be a doubly hydrogen bound six-membered ring with non-optimal hydrogen bond angles. We estimate the gas-phase constant of dimer formation, K, to be 0.4 (standard pressure of 1 bar) using the experimental integrated absorbance and a theoretically determined oscillator strength of the OHb-stretching band.

Abstract
We present the observation of the N2-H2O van der Waals complex in the 2OH stretch overtone region. The high-resolution jet cooled spectra were measured using a sensitive continuous wave cavity ringdown spectrometer. Several bands were observed and vibrationally assigned in terms of ν1, ν2, and ν3, the vibrational quantum numbers of the isolated H2O molecule, as (ν1'ν2'ν3')←(ν1″ν2″ν3″)=(200)←(000) and (101) ← (000). A combination band involving the excitation of the in-plane bending motion of N2 and the (101) vibration of water is also reported. The spectra were analyzed using a set of four asymmetric top rotors, each associated with a nuclear spin isomer. Several local perturbations of the (101) vibrational state were observed. These perturbations were assigned to the presence of the nearby (200) vibrational state and to the combination of (200) with intermolecular modes.

SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2023; 285:121901. [PMID: 36182831 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2022.121901] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2022] [Revised: 09/07/2022] [Accepted: 09/14/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Complexes of 1,2,4-triazole (TR) and 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (AT) with N2 were studied computationally employing MP2 and B3LYPD3 methods and experimentally by FTIR matrix isolation technique. The results show that both triazoles interact specifically with dinitrogen in several different ways. For the 1:1 complexes of 1,2,4-triazole five stable minima were located on the potential energy surface. The most stable of them comprises a weak hydrogen bond formed between the NH group of the ring and the lone pair of the nitrogen molecule. The second most stable structure is bound by the N⋯π bond formed between one of the N atoms of the N2 molecule and the triazole ring. Three other complexes are stabilized by the C-H⋯N and N⋯N van der Waals interactions. In the case of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole, the two most stable dinitrogen complexes are analogous to those found for the 1,2,4-triazole and involve N-H⋯N and N⋯π bonds. In other structures amino or CH groups act as proton donors to the N2 molecule. The N⋯N van der Waals interactions are also present. The analysis of the infrared spectra of low temperature matrices containing TR or AT and dinitrogen indicates that in both systems mostly 1:1 hydrogen-bonded complexes with the NH group interacting with N2 are present in solid argon.

Matrix Isolation FTIR and Theoretical Study of Weakly Bound Complexes of Isocyanic Acid with Nitrogen. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27020495.

Abstract
Weak complexes of isocyanic acid (HNCO) with nitrogen were studied computationally employing MP2, B2PLYPD3 and B3LYPD3 methods and experimentally by FTIR matrix isolation technique. The results show that HNCO interacts specifically with N2. For the 1:1 stoichiometry, three stable minima were located on the potential energy surface. The most stable of them involves a weak, almost linear hydrogen bond from the NH group of the acid molecule to nitrogen molecule lone pair. Two other structures are bound by van der Waals interactions of N⋯N and C⋯N types. The 1:2 and 2:1 HNCO complexes with nitrogen were computationally tracked as well. Similar types of interactions as in the 1:1 complexes were found in the case of the higher stoichiometry complexes. Analysis of the HNCO/N2/Ar spectra after deposition indicates that the 1:1 hydrogen-bonded complex is prevalent in argon matrices with a small amount of the van der Waals structures also present. Upon annealing, complexes of the 1:2 and 2:1 stoichiometry were detected as well.
