Infrared spectra and structures of SiH₄ and GeH₄ dimers in low-temperature nitrogen matrixes.

IR absorption spectra of monoisotopic silane (28)SiH4 and germane (76)GeH4 are studied in nitrogen matrixes at T = 11 K. It is shown that the absorption spectra of silane and germane are similar in the regions of the ν3 stretching and ν4 bending vibrations. A significant influence of a nitrogen matrix on the absorption spectra of XH4 molecules was established.
