Abstract
H2-doped argon matrices containing CsF were examined using FTIR with 1 cm-1 spectral resolution. Several distinct trapping sites were identified with one, two, and three hydrogen molecules perturbed by CsF. CsF(H2) gives a band at 4022 cm-1 while the features of CsF(H2)x, x > 1, are displaced to higher wavenumbers. It is clear from the similarity of the spectra of H2 and HD that the rotation of H2 is quenched in the presence of CsF. Analogous spectra are observed using KF with the 1:1 adduct absorbing at 4016 cm-1. The spectrum of H2 in argon matrices doped with NaCl shows three absorptions that exhibit fine structure even under highly dilute conditions. Analogous features are exhibited by HD, indicating that the several bands are probably not due to rotation of the hydrogen. The three bands are assigned to conformers of NaCl:H2 which are differentiated by an interaction between the sodium ion and H2 that is modulated by the matrix.
