Abstract
The reactions of early lanthanide metal atoms (Ce, Pr, and Nd) with carbon monoxide and nitric oxide mixtures are studied by infrared absorption spectroscopy in solid argon. The reaction intermediates and products are identified via isotopic substitution as well as theoretical frequency calculations. The results show that the reactions proceed with the initial formation of inserted NLnO molecules, which subsequently react with CO to form the NLnO(CO) complexes on annealing. The NLnO(CO) complexes further isomerize to the more stable isocyanate OLnNCO species under UV light excitation.

Evidence for NO unitary adsorption, the formation of (NO)2 and the reduction to form N2O is observed on silver clusters with sizes up to one nanometer. The adsorption and activation of NO are enhanced by electron transfer from silver to NO.

Abstract
The infrared spectra of mass-selected mononuclear copper nitrosyl cation complexes [Cu(NO)n](+) with n = 1-5 and their argon tagged complexes are measured via infrared photodissociation spectroscopy in the nitrosyl stretching frequency region in the gas phase. The experimental spectra provide distinctive patterns allowing the determination of the geometries and electronic structures of these complexes by comparison with the predicted spectra from density functional theory computations. The argon tagged [Cu(NO)2Ar2](+) and [Cu(NO)3Ar](+) complexes as well as the higher n = 4 and 5 complexes each involve a bidentate (NO)2 dimer ligand, suggesting that ligand-ligand coupling plays an important role in the bonding of these cation systems. The results also show that argon tagging has a strong influence on the geometric and electronic structures of the n = 2 and 3 complexes. The [Cu(NO)4](+) cation is the most intense peak in the mass spectrum, which is characterized to be the fully coordinated ion with a D2d structure involving two (NO)2 units but with only 14-valence electrons on Cu. The [Cu(NO)5](+) cation complex is determined to involve a [Cu(NO)4](+) core ion that is coordinated by an external NO ligand.

Abstract
The [M(NO)n](+) cation complexes (M = Au and Ag) are studied for exploring the coordination and bonding between nitric oxide and noble metal cations. These species are produced in a laser vaporization supersonic ion source and probed by infrared photodissociation spectroscopy in the NO stretching frequency region using a collinear tandem time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The geometric and electronic structures of these complexes are determined by comparison of the distinctive experimental spectra with simulated spectra derived from density functional theory calculations. All of these noble metal nitrosyl cation complexes are characterized to have bent NO ligands serving as one-electron donors. The spectrum of [Au(NO)2Ar](+) is consistent with 2-fold coordination with a near linear N-Au-N arrangement for this ion. The [Au(NO)n](+) (n = 3-4) cations are determined to be a mixture of 2-fold coordinated form and 3- or 4-fold coordinated form. In contrast, the spectra of [Ag(NO)n](+) (n = 3-6) provide evidence for the completion of the first coordination shell at n = 5. The high [Au(NO)n](+) and [Ag(NO)n](+) (n ≥ 3 for Au, n ≥ 4 for Ag) complexes each involve one or more (NO)2 dimer ligands, as observed in the copper nitrosyl cation complexes, indicating that ligand-ligand coupling plays an important role in the structure and bonding of noble metal nitrosyl cation complexes.

Abstract
Reactions of laser-ablated copper atoms with carbon monoxide and dinitrogen in excess argon have been investigated by matrix-isolation infrared spectroscopy. The NNCuCO and (NN)(2)CuCO complexes, as well as copper carbonyls, are formed as reaction products during sample deposition and further annealing whereas no copper dinitrogen complexes were observed. These carbonylcopper dinitrogen complexes are characterized on the basis of the results of the isotopic substitution and the reagent concentration change. Density functional theory calculations of the geometry structures, vibrational frequencies, relative absorption intensities, and isotopic shifts strongly support the experimental assignments. The experimental results reveal promoted adsorption of N(2) on Cu atoms by preadsorbed CO. The theoretical results for reaction characteristics between the coadsorbed CO and N(2) agree with the experimental findings. The joint investigations provide insights with regard to CO and N(2) cooperative adsorption effects and consequent reaction mechanisms.
