Abstract
Anharmonic vibrational state calculations were performed for PtCO and Ar-PtCO via the direct vibrational configuration interaction (VCI) method based on CCSD(T) energies and CCSD dipole moments at tens of thousands of grids, to get insights into the anomalous effect of a solid argon matrix on the vibrational spectra of PtCO. It was shown that, through the binding of Ar to PtCO via a strong van der Waals interaction, the Pt-C-O bending fundamental level drastically loses the infrared intensity although the corresponding overtone band shows a relatively large intensity. The origin of this phenomenon was analyzed based on the dipole moment surfaces and electron densities around the equilibrium structure. The present computations have solved the inconsistency between the gas-phase and the matrix-isolation experiments for PtCO.

Abstract
Laser-ablated beryllium atom has been codeposited at 4 K with hydrogen sulfide in excess noble gas matrices. Four noble-gas compounds NgBeS (Ng = Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe) and the BeS(2) molecule are identified on the basis of the S-34 isotopic substitution, DFT and CCSD(T) theoretical predictions, and a comparison of noble-gas substitution. The agreement between the experimental and calculated vibrational frequencies supports the identification of these molecules. The dissociation energies are calculated at 1.6, 12.6, 10.7, and 13.4 kcal/mol for NeBeS, ArBeS, KrBeS, and XeBeS, respectively, at the CCSD(T) level. The BeS Lewis acid molecule favors strong chemical binding between the Be and Ng atoms.

Abstract
Chemical binding between a rare gas atom with other elements leading to the formation of stable chemical compounds has received considerable attention in recent years. With an intention to predict highly stable novel rare gas compounds, the process of insertion of beryllium atom into rare gas hydrides (HRgF with Rg=Ar, Kr, and Xe) has been investigated, which leads to the prediction of HBeRgF species. The structures, energetic, and charge distributions have been obtained using MP2, density functional theory, and CCSD(T) methods. Analogous to the well-known rare gas hydrides, HBeRgF species are found to be metastable in nature; however, the stabilization energy of the newly predicted species has been calculated to be significantly higher than that of HRgF species. Particularly, for HBeArF molecule, it has been found to be an order of magnitude higher. Strong chemical binding between beryllium and rare gas atom has also been found in the HBeArF, HBeKrF, and HBXeF molecules. In fact, the basis set superposition error and zero-point energy corrected Be-Ar bond energy calculated using CCSD(T) method has been found to be 112 kJ/mol, which is the highest bond energy ever achieved for a bond involving an argon atom in any chemically bound neutral species. Vibrational analysis reveals a large blueshift (approximately 200 cm(-1)) of the H-Be stretching frequency in HBeRgF with respect to that in BeH and HBeF species. This feature may be used to characterize these species after their preparation by the laser ablation of Be metal along with the photolysis of HF precursor in a suitable rare gas matrix. An analysis of the nature of interactions involved in the present systems has been performed using theory of atoms in molecules (AIM). Geometric as well as energetic considerations along with the AIM results suggest a substantial covalent nature of Be-Rg bond in these systems. Thus, insertion of a suitable metal atom into rare gas hydrides is a promising way to energetically stabilize the HRgX species, which eventually leads to the formation of a new class of insertion compounds, viz., rare gas metallohydrides.

Abstract
Following our recent study on Ng-Pt-Ng (Ng=Ar,Kr,Xe) [J. Chem. Phys. 123, 204321 (2005)], the binding of noble-gas atoms with Pd atom has been investigated by the ab initio coupled cluster CCSD(T) method with counterpoise corrections, including relativistic effects. It is shown that two Ng atoms bind with Pd atom in linear geometry due to the s-d(sigma) hybridization in Pd where the second Ng atom attaches with much larger binding energy than the first. The binding energies are evaluated as 4.0, 10.2, and 21.5 kcalmol for Ar-Pd-Ar, Kr-Pd-Kr, and Xe-Pd-Xe, respectively, relative to the dissociation limit, Pd ((1)S)+2Ng. In the hybrid Ng complexes, the binding energies for XePd and Ng (=Ar,Kr) are evaluated as 4.0 and 6.9 kcalmol for XePd-Ar and XePd-Kr, respectively. The fundamental frequencies and low-lying vibrational-rotational energy levels are determined for each compound by the variational method, based on the three-dimensional near-equilibrium potential energy surface. Results of vibrational-rotational analyses for Ng-Pt-Ng (Ng=Ar,Kr,Xe) and Xe-Pt-Ng (Ng=He,Ne,Ar,Kr) compounds are also given.

Abstract
The structure, stability, charge redistribution, and harmonic vibrational frequencies of rare gas inserted group III-B fluorides with the general formula F-Rg-MF(2) (where M=B and Al; Rg=Ar, Kr, and Xe) have been investigated using ab initio quantum chemical methods. The Rg atom is inserted in one of the M-F bond of MF(3) molecules, and the geometries are optimized for ground as well as transition states using the MP2 method. It has been found that Rg inserted F-Rg-M portion is linear in both F-Rg-BF(2) and F-Rg-AlF(2) species. The binding energies corresponding to the lowest energy fragmentation products MF(3)+Rg (two-body dissociation) have been computed to be -670.4, -598.8, -530.7, -617.0, -562.1, and -494.0 kJmol for F-Ar-BF(2), F-Kr-BF(2), F-Xe-BF(2), F-Ar-AlF(2), F-Kr-AlF(2), and F-Xe-AlF(2) species, respectively. The dissociation energies corresponding to MF(2)+Rg+F fragments (three-body dissociation) are found to be positive with respect to F-Rg-MF(2) species, and the computed values are 56.3, 127.8, and 196.0 kJmol for F-Ar-BF(2), F-Kr-BF(2), and F-Xe-BF(2) species, respectively. The corresponding values for F-Ar-AlF(2), F-Kr-AlF(2), and F-Xe-AlF(2) species are also found to be positive. The decomposition of F-Rg-MF(2) species into the MF(3)+Rg (two-body dissociation) channel typically proceeds via a transition state involving F-Rg-M out-of-plane bending mode. The transition state barrier heights are 35.5, 62.7, 89.8, 22.0, 45.6, and 75.3 kJmol for F-Ar-BF(2), F-Kr-BF(2), F-Xe-BF(2), F-Ar-AlF(2), F-Kr-AlF(2), and F-Xe-AlF(2) species, respectively. The calculated geometrical parameters and the energy values suggest that these species are metastable and may be prepared and characterized using low temperature matrix isolation techniques, and are possibly the next new candidates for gas phase or matrix experiments.

Abstract
The matrix isolation infrared spectroscopic and quantum chemical calculation results indicate that late transition metal monoxides CrO through NiO coordinate one noble gas atom in forming the NgMO complexes (Ng = Ar, Kr, Xe; M = Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) in solid noble gas matrixes. Hence, the late transition metal monoxides previously characterized in solid noble gas matrixes should be regarded as the NgMO complexes, which were predicted to be linear. The M-Ng bond distances decrease, while the M-Ng binding energies increase from NgCrO to NgNiO. In contrast, the early transition metal monoxides, ScO, TiO, and VO, are not able to form similar noble gas atom complexes.

Abstract
The reaction of Ni atoms with molecular oxygen has been reinvestigated experimentally in neon matrices and theoretically at the DFT PW91PW91/6311G(3df) level. Experimental results show that i) the nature of the ground electronic state of the superoxide metastable product is the same in neon and argon matrices, ii) two different photochemical pathways exist for the conversion of the superoxide to the dioxide ground state (involving 1.6 or 4 eV photons) and iii) an important matrix effect exists in the Ni + O(2)--> Ni(O(2)) or ONiO branching ratios. Theoretical results confirm that the electronic ground state of the metastable superoxide corresponds to the singlet state, in agreement with former CCSD(T) calculations, but in contradiction with other recent works. Our results show that the ground electronic state of the dioxide is (1)Sigma(+)(g) with the lowest triplet and quintet states at slightly higher energy, consistent with the observation of weak vibronic transitions in the near infrared. The potential energy profiles are modelled for the ground state and nine electronic excited states and a pathway for the Ni(triplet) + O(2)(triplet) --> Ni(O(2)) or ONiO (singlet) reaction is proposed, as well as for the Ni(O(2)) --> ONiO photochemical reaction, accounting for the experimental observations.

Abstract
We have investigated the binding of noble-gas (Ng) atoms (Ng=Ar,Kr,Xe) with Pt atom by the ab initio coupled-cluster CCSD(T) method, taking into account the relativistic effects. It is shown that two Ng atoms can bind with Pt atom in linear geometry in the singlet lowest state where the second Ng atom attaches to Pt with the larger binding energy than the first Ng atom. The binding energy is evaluated as 8.2, 17.9, and 33.4 kcal/mol for Ar-Pt-Ar, Kr-Pt-Kr, and Xe-Pt-Xe, respectively, relative to the triplet ground state of the dissociation limit Pt ((3)D)+2Ng. The present results indicate that these Ng-Pt-Ng compounds are possible new gas-phase or matrix species.
