This paper reports fundamental vibration frequencies for molecular OS03Fz and o s o 4 isolated in argon matrices at low temperatures. Os03Fz is shown to have D3h symmetry on the basis of Raman and IR selection rules, and this conclusion is confirmed by the results of ' 8 0 enrichment studies which demonstrate the presence of an oso3 unit containing three equivalent oxygens. The argon matrix frequencies are 946.5 ( A ; ) , 928.5 (E'), 646 (A;), 619 ( A ; ) 348 (E"), 316.5 (E') 258 ( A ; ) and 206 (E') cm-l. High resolution spectra are also reported for matrix isolated oS1604 (~1963, vz 332, v3 956, and v4 327 cm-I) and for ' 8 0 enriched oso4 species.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
