Description:
H 2 —AgCl has been observed on a Fourier transform microwave spectrometer equipped with laser ablation source and determined to be a dihydrogen complex. Transitions up to J = 3–2 have been measured and analyzed for four isotopologues of the complex containing ortho and para H 2 . The ortho and para spin states have been included in one fit, a deviation from the typical H 2 complex. Rotational constants B and C , centrifugal distortion constants Δ J and Δ JK , nuclear electric quadrupole coupling constants χ aa , χ bb , and χ cc for 35 Cl and 37 Cl have been fit for both spin states while nuclear spin-nuclear spin constants D aa , D bb , and D cc , and nuclear spin-rotation constant C aa have been reported for the ortho spin state. Quantum chemical calculations predict a strong bonding interaction and the strength of the complex has been related to reported χ aa and Δ J values amongst a host of comparable species, including the AgCl monomer itself. Bond lengths have been determined for Ag—Cl, Ag—H 2 center-of-mass, and H—H and are reported.
