Matrix Isolation Laser Raman Spectroscopy in Inorganic Chemistry

Abstract

WE report in this article the first Raman spectra of highly reactive inorganic molecules trapped in a low temperature matrix. The technique of matrix isolation infrared spectroscopy has been used for several years, and the need for reliable Raman data on comparable systems is obvious, in order to make reliable structural and vibrational assignments, for example.
