Matrix Isolation and Cold Diffusion of Mass-Selected CS₂^•+ in Neon: Infrared Observation of the Asymmetric Stretch of CS₂^•+ and CS₂^•-

Abstract

Vibrational spectroscopic characterization of neon matrices in which mass-selected CS2•+ and CS•+ were deposited reveals absorptions due to (ν3) CS2•+ (1207.1 cm-1) and (ν3) 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.
