Abstract:
Scandium monoxide-dinitrogen complexes-OSc(N2), OScNN, and OScNN+-have been prepared by the reactions of laser-evaporated scandium monoxide with N2 or scandium atoms with N2O in solid argon. The ground-state scandium monoxide molecule reacted with N2 to form the side-bonded OSc(N2) complex spontaneously on annealing. This complex rearranged to the end-on bonded OScNN complex upon UV irradiation. Both the OSc(N2) and OScNN complexes in solid argon can be assigned to have 2A' ' electronic ground state with Cs symmetry arising from the 2Delta first excited-state ScO. The neutral complexes can also be photoionized to the OScNN+ cation complex upon UV irradiation.
