Researchers identified a hydrogen bonded complex between hydroxyl radical and ozone in argon matrices. This complex is weaker than the hydroxyl radical-carbon monoxide complex.

Area of Science:

  • Chemical Physics
  • Spectroscopy
  • Matrix Isolation

Background:

  • Understanding intermolecular forces is crucial in chemistry.
  • Hydroxyl radical (OH) and ozone (O3) are key atmospheric species.
  • Hydrogen bonding plays a significant role in molecular interactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the formation and properties of a hydrogen bonded complex between hydroxyl radical and ozone.
  • To characterize the strength of the hydrogen bond in the OH-O3 complex.

Main Methods:

  • Matrix isolation spectroscopy at cryogenic temperatures (9 K).
  • Infrared spectroscopy to observe vibrational shifts.

Main Results:

  • Successfully observed and identified a hydrogen bonded complex between hydroxyl radical (OH) and ozone (O3).

  • The vibrational shift of the OH stretch (-12.6 cm-1) indicates a hydrogen bond strength.
  • Comparison with the OH-CO complex suggests the OH-O3 complex is weaker.

    • Conclusions:

    • The formation of a hydrogen bonded complex between OH and O3 is experimentally confirmed.
    • The OH-O3 complex exhibits weaker hydrogen bonding compared to the OH-CO complex.
    • This finding contributes to the understanding of radical-radical interactions in low-temperature environments.
