Infrared Spectra of Some MH4 Molecules

Abstract

Molecular constants have been obtained for a number of the fourth-group hydrides. The values of the M—H distances which have been obtained under the assumption of tetrahedral angles are: SiD3H, 1.480±0.001 Å; GeH3D, 1.525±0.001 Å; GeD3H, 1.532±0.001 Å; SnD3H, 1.701±0.001 Å.
