P. Freivogel et al., INFRARED BANDS OF MASS-SELECTED CARBON CHAINS C-N (N=8-12) AND C-N(-)(N=5-10, 12) IN NEON MATRICES, Chemical physics, 216(3), 1997, pp. 401-406
Infrared bands of carbon chains C-n (n = 8-12) and C-n(-) (n = 5-10,12
) have been observed in neon matrices in the 1600-2100 cm(-1) region.
The matrices were grown at 5 K by codepositing mass-selected carbon an
ions with excess of neon. The neutral carbon chains were obtained from
the anions by photodetachment. The assignments of the infrared transi
tions are based on mass-selection, photobleaching behaviour, intensity
correlation with the known electronic transitions, and available ab i
nitio calculations.
