Abstract

The reactions of silver and gold atoms with carbon disulfide in solid argon have been investigated with infrared absorption spectroscopy. The ground state silver and gold atoms reacted with carbon disulfide to form the sulfur-bonded Ag-η1–SCS and Au-η1–SCS complexes spontaneously on annealing. The Ag-η1–SCS and Au-η1–SCS complexes underwent photochemical rearrangement to the inserted SAgCS and SAuCS molecules upon ultraviolet–visible irradiation. The product molecules were identified based on isotopic IR spectra and density functional theory calculations.
