The infrared photodissociation spectroscopy of mass-selected mononuclear iron carbonyl anions Fe(CO)(n)(-) (n = 2-8) were studied in the carbonyl stretching frequency region. The FeCO(-) anion does not fragment when excited with infrared light. Only a single IR active band was observed for the Fe(CO)(2)(-) and Fe(CO)(3)(-) anions, consistent with theoretical predictions that these complexes have linear D(∞h) and planar D(3h) symmetry, respectively. The Fe(CO)(4)(-) anion is the most intense peak in the mass spectra and was characterized to have a completed coordination sphere with high stability. Anion clusters larger than n = 4 were determined to involve a Fe(CO)(4)(-) core anion that is progressively solvated by external CO molecules. Three CO stretching vibrational fundamentals were observed for the Fe(CO)(4)(-) core anion, indicating that the Fe(CO)(4)(-) anion has a C(3v) structure. All the carbonyl stretching frequencies of the Fe(CO)(n)(-) anion complexes are red-shifted with respect to those of the corresponding neutrals.

ArBO ( = 1-3) complexes have been prepared and subjected to spectroscopic characterization in the gas phase. Mass-selected infrared photodissociation spectroscopy, in combination with theoretical calculations, reveals the coexistence of two nearly isoenergetic structural isomers in ArBO. One isomer entails two equivalent Ar atoms chemically bound to BO, while the other features an ArBO core ion accompanied by a weakly tagging argon atom.

Herein, we report on the ultrafast photodissociation of nickel tetracarbonyl-a prototypical metal-ligand model system-at 197 nm. Using mid-infrared transient absorption spectroscopy to probe the bound C≡O stretching modes, we find evidence for the picosecond time scale production of highly vibronically excited nickel dicarbonyl and nickel monocarbonyl, in marked contrast with a prior investigation at 193 nm. Further spectral evolution with a 50 ps time constant suggests an additional dissociation step; the absence of any corresponding growth in signal strongly indicates the production of bare Ni, a heretofore unreported product from single-photon excitation of nickel tetracarbonyl.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how bromoform (CHBr) behaves when exposed to near-infrared (NIR) light, focusing on its breakdown and isomerization in cationic states through advanced imaging techniques.
- - It is observed that the dissociation process, particularly when forming HBr and Br fragments, occurs with a delay compared to the faster breakdown of the C-Br bond.
- - Molecular dynamics simulations indicate that this delay results from temporary isomerization processes involving H- and Br-migrations before the final fragments are produced.

Diazeniumdiolates spontaneously release nitric oxide (NO) in aqueous solutions. Therefore, protected diazeniumdiolates have been developed for the controlled administration of NO to specific targets. Diazeniumdiolates with photoprotecting groups are useful for spatiotemporal NO delivery.

Article Synopsis
- Borylenes with a B-R bond exhibit unique reactivity similar to transition metals, yet understanding of their electronic structure remains limited.
- Recent research utilized infrared spectroscopy and computational methods to analyze boron-gold carbonyl complexes, revealing them as bis-carbonyl-trapped borylene adducts.
- The findings indicate that these complexes possess enhanced reactivity and stability due to multicenter bonding, paving the way for new metalized borylene materials and potential catalytic applications.
