Notes:
The optical spectra of palladium in neon and argon matrices containing up to 100% dinitrogen have been studied. Beside the known bands of isolated Pd atoms new strong bands assigned to weakly bonded Pd(N2)m (m=1, 2) complexes appear. The bands are attributed to three different types of transition. The dominant lines are essentially due to transitions localized at the Pd atom but strongly perturbed by a "crystal field'' due to the weakly bonded N2 molecules. Secondly, a vibrational progression at lower energies is assigned to a Pd to N2 charge transfer transition and thirdly, at high energies, a vibrational progression assigned to a locally excited state of an N2 molecule perturbed by weak bonding to Pd is observed. No evidence has been found for the presence of Pd(N2)3. Photoelectron spectra of the Pd(N2)m complexes in neon have been observed. The Pd 4d photoemission peak is shifted with respect to the Pd atom in Ne by ∼1.1 eV to higher binding energies.
