The features of high resolution IR spectra of the SiH4 molecule in N2 and Ar low-temperature matrices at 6.6-20 K were analyzed depending on experimental conditions. It was found, that in the nitrogen matrix in region of stretching vibration of 28SiH4 three narrow bands are observed, in the region of bending vibration (ν4) two bands are observed instead of one, which is explained by a change in the symmetry of the molecule from Td in the gas phase to C3v in solid nitrogen. In the argon matrix spectra change even more, where, in addition to narrow bands, the broad enough components are also recorded. The calculations of the SiH4 spectrum in the Ar matrix were performed based on the QM/MM approach, which confirm the reality of the change in the symmetry of the molecule as a result of its interaction with the matrix environment.
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.
