Ion-molecule complexes of the form Si(+)(C6H6)n and Si(+)(C6H6)(n)Ar are produced by laser vaporization in a pulsed nozzle cluster source. These clusters are mass-selected and studied with ultraviolet (355 nm) photodissociation and resonance-enhanced infrared photodissociation spectroscopy in the C-H stretch region of benzene. In the UV, Si(+)(C6H6)n clusters (n = 1-5) fragment to produce the Si(+)(C6H6)n mono-ligand species, suggesting that this ion has enhanced relative stability. IR photodissociation of Si(+)(C6H6)n complexes occurs by the elimination of benzene, while Si(+)(C6H6)(n)Ar complexes lose Ar. Resonances reveal C-H vibrational bands in the 2900-3300 cm(-1) region characteristic of the benzene ligand with shifts caused by the silicon cation bonding. The IR spectra confirm that the major component of the Si(+)(C6H6)n ions studied have the pi-complex structure rather than the isomeric insertion products suggested previously.
通过脉冲喷嘴团簇源中的激光汽化产生形式为Si(+)(C6H6)n和Si(+)(C6H6)(n)Ar的离子 - 分子复合物。这些团簇经过质量选择,并在苯的C - H伸缩区域用紫外(355 nm)光解离和共振增强红外光解离光谱进行研究。在紫外光下,Si(+)(C6H6)n团簇(n = 1 - 5)发生碎片化,生成Si(+)(C6H6)n单配体物种,这表明该离子具有增强的相对稳定性。Si(+)(C6H6)n复合物的红外光解离是通过苯的消除发生的,而Si(+)(C6H6)(n)Ar复合物则失去Ar。共振揭示了在2900 - 3300 cm(-1)区域内苯配体的C - H振动带,这些振动带因硅阳离子键合而发生位移。红外光谱证实,所研究的Si(+)(C6H6)n离子的主要成分具有π - 络合物结构,而非先前提出的异构插入产物结构。
