Abstract
Pulsed-laser evaporated Al and C atoms have been reacted in a condensi ng argon stream to form AlC, Al2C, and AlCCAl. These molecules were id entified from carbon-13 substitution and by comparing observed and CAS SCF-calculated frequencies. The analogous Al atom reaction with C2H2 g ave HCCAl in higher yield than in earlier thermal Al experiments with C2H2 following photolysis of the AlC2H2 complex. These aluminum acetyl ide molecules contain C=C bonds that are calculated to be slightly lon ger than that for C2H2.
