Abstract
We report the first gas phase observation of a bending vibration in an open shell molecule by far-infrared laser magnetic resonance. The spectrum is due to FeD2; its observation shows that rovibrational transitions can be detected with such a spectrometer. The molecule was produced in the reaction between deuterium atoms and iron pentacarbonyl. FeD2 has a linear 5Δ ground state and shows the effects of Renner–Teller coupling in the excited vibrational (010) level.
