We report on spectroscopic measurements on the transition in neutral europium-151 and europium-153 at 459.4 nm. The center of gravity frequencies for the 151 and 153 isotopes, reported for the first time in this paper, to our knowledge, were found to be 652,389,757.16(34) MHz and 652,386,593.2(5) MHz, respectively. The hyperfine coefficients for the state were found to be , and , , which all agree with previously published results except for A(153), which shows a small discrepancy. The isotope shift is found to be 3163.8(6) MHz, which also has a discrepancy with previously published results.

Spectroscopic study of the 4f 7 6s 2 8 S 7/2∘ – 4f 7 ( 8 S ° ) 6s6p( 1 P ° ) 8 P 5/2,7/2 transitions in neutral europium-151 and europium-153: absolute frequency and hyperfine structure
We report on spectroscopic measurements on the 4f76s28S7/2∘−4f7(8S∘)6s6p(1P∘)8P5/2,7/2transitions at 466.32 nm and 462.85 nm, respectively, in neutral europium-151 and europium-153. The center of gravity frequencies for the 151 and 153 isotopes for both transitions are reported for the first time using saturated absorption spectroscopy. For the 6s6p(1P∘)8P5/2state, the center of gravity frequencies were found to be 642,894,493.3(4) MHz and 642,891,693.3(9) MHz for the 151 and 153 isotopes, respectively. The hyperfine constants for the upper state were found to beA(151)=−157.01(3)MHz,B(151)=74.5(4)MHz andA(153)=−69.43(14)MHz,B(153)=191.0(26)MHz. These hyperfine values are all consistent with previously published results except forB(151) that has a small discrepancy. The isotope shift was found to be 2799.54(20) MHz, a small discrepancy with previously published results. For the 6s6p(1P∘)8P7/2state, the center of gravity frequencies were found to be 647,708,930.6(6) MHz and 647,705,958.4(26) MHz for the 151 and 153 isotopes, respectively. The hyperfine constants for the upper state were found to beA(151)=−218.66(4)MHz,B(151)=−293.4(8)MHz andA(153)=−97.15(13)MHz,B(153)=−750(3)MHz. These values are all consistent with previously published results except forA(151) that has a small discrepancy. The isotope shift was found to be 2972.8(5) MHz, a small discrepancy with previously measured results.

Abstract A novel transition metal chalcohalide [Cr7S8(en)8Cl2]Cl3 ⋅ 2H2O, with [Cr7S8]5+dicubane cationic clusters, has been synthesized by a low temperature solvothermal method, using dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and ethylenediamine (en) solvents. Ethylenediamine ligand exhibits bi‐ and monodentate coordination modes; in the latter case ethylenediamine coordinates to Cr atoms of adjacent clusters, giving rise to a 2D polymeric structure. Although magnetic susceptibility shows no magnetic ordering down to 1.8 K, a highly negative Weiss constant,θ=−224(2) K, obtained from Curie‐Weiss fit of inverse susceptibility, suggests strong antiferromagnetic (AFM) interactions betweenS=3/2 Cr(III) centers. Due to the complexity of the system with (2S+1)7=16384 microstates from seven Cr3+centers, a simplified model with only two exchange constants was used for simulations. Density‐functional theory (DFT) calculations yielded the two exchange constants to beJ1=−21.4 cm−1andJ2=−30.2 cm−1, confirming competing AFM coupling between the shared Cr3+center and the peripheral Cr3+ions of the dicubane cluster. The best simulation of the experimental data was obtained withJ1=−20.0 cm−1andJ2=−21.0 cm−1, in agreement with the slightly stronger AFM exchange within the triangles of the peripheral Cr3+ions as compared to the AFM exchange between the central and peripheral Cr3+ions. This compound is proposed as a synthon towards magnetically frustrated systems assembled by linking dicubane transition metal‐chalcogenide clusters into polymeric networks.more » « less

Abstract The millimeter-wave spectrum of the SiP radical (X2Πi) has been measured in the laboratory for the first time using direct-absorption methods. SiP was created by the reaction of phosphorus vapor and SiH4in argon in an AC discharge. Fifteen rotational transitions (J+ 1 ←J) were measured for SiP in the Ω = 3/2 ladder in the frequency range 151–533 GHz, and rotational, lambda doubling, and phosphorus hyperfine constants determined. Based on the laboratory measurements, SiP was detected in the circumstellar shell of IRC+10216, using the Submillimeter Telescope and the 12 m antenna of the Arizona Radio Observatory at 1 mm and 2 mm, respectively. Eight transitions of SiP were searched: four were completely obscured by stronger features, two were uncontaminated (J= 13.5 → 12.5 and 16.5 → 15.5), and two were partially blended with other lines (J= 8.5 → 7.5 and 17.5 → 16.5). The SiP line profiles were broader than expected for IRC+10216, consistent with the hyperfine splitting. From non-LTE radiative transfer modeling, SiP was found to have a shell distribution with a radius ∼300R*, and an abundance, relative to H2, off∼ 2 × 10−9. From additional modeling, abundances of 7 × 10−9and 9 × 10−10were determined for CP and PN, respectively, both located in shells at 550–650R*. SiP may be formed from grain destruction, which liberates both phosphorus and silicon into the gas phase, and then is channeled into other P-bearing molecules such as PN and CP.more » « less

Abstract Lanthanide (Ln) elements are generally found in the oxidation state +II or +III, and a few examples of +IV and +V compounds have also been reported. In contrast, monovalent Ln(+I) complexes remain scarce. Here we combine photoelectron spectroscopy and theoretical calculations to study Ln-doped octa-boron clusters (LnB8−, Ln = La, Pr, Tb, Tm, Yb) with the rare +I oxidation state. The global minimum of the LnB8−species changes fromCstoC7vsymmetry accompanied by an oxidation-state change from +III to +I from the early to late lanthanides. All theC7v-LnB8−clusters can be viewed as a monovalent Ln(I) coordinated by a η8-B82−doubly aromatic ligand. The B73−, B82−, and B9−series of aromatic boron clusters are analogous to the classical aromatic hydrocarbon molecules, C5H5−, C6H6, and C7H7+, respectively, with similar trends of size and charge state and they are named collectively as “borozenes”. Lanthanides with variable oxidation states and magnetic properties may be formed with different borozenes.more » « less

Abstract The first consistent series of mononuclear 17‐electron complexes of three Group 7 elements has been isolated in crystalline form and studied by X‐ray diffraction and spectroscopic methods. The paramagnetic compounds have a composition of [M0(CO)(CNp‐F‐ArDArF2)4] (M=Mn, Tc, Re; ArDArF2=2,6‐(3,5‐(CF3)2C6H3)2C6H2F) and are stabilized by four sterically encumbering isocyanides, which prevent the metalloradicals from dimerization. They have a square pyramidal structure with the carbonyl ligands as apexes. The frozen‐solution EPR spectra of the rhenium and technetium compounds are clearly anisotropic with large99Tc and185,187Re hyperfine interactions for one component. High‐field EPR (Q band and W band) has been applied for the elucidation of the EPR parameters of the manganese(0) complex.more » « less
