FTIR Observation and DFT Study of CoC 3 Trapped in Solid Ar S.A. Bates, J.A. Rhodes, C.M.L. Rittby, and W.R.M. Graham Department of Physics and Astronomy Texas Christian University Fort Worth, TX nd Meeting of the International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy The Ohio State University June 18-22, 2007

2 Metallocarbohedrenes Small metal carbon clusters important in understanding their formation and bonding (Guo, Science 1992; Guo & Castleman, Advances in Metal and Semiconductor Clusters, 1994; Castleman, Nano Lett 2001) TiC 2, VC 2 as “building blocks” for larger clusters (Castleman, JPC 1992; Tono, JCP 2002) Co n C m species form from Co atoms attaching to carbon aggregates. (Tono, JCP 2002) Motivation

3 Previous photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) and density functional theory (DFT) studies on MC 2 and MC 3 clusters (M=Sc, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni) (Li & Wang, JCP 1999; Wang & Li, JCP 2000) CoC 2 metal-carbon stretch measured at 540(60) cm -1. (Li & Wang, JCP 1999) No vibrational features were resolved for CoC 3 so excluded from DFT investigation – geometry undetermined. (Wang & Li, JCP 2000)

4 Motivation DFT predicts cyclic (C 2v ) CoC 2 ground state (Arbuznikov & Hendrickx, CPL 2000; Yuan et al., Chin. PL 2006) DFT predicted Co 2 C 3 structure has C 2v symmetry with equivalent C atoms, supported by PE spectra (Tono, JCP 2002) Co

5 Motivation Recent TCU Molecular Physics lab metal-carbon species identifications include Fan-shaped (C 2v ) TiC 3 (Kinzer, JCP 2006) and ScC 3 (Kinzer, JCP, to be submitted) Linear CrC 3 (Bates, JCP 2006), AlC 3, AlC 3 Al (Bates, JCP, to be submitted), and NiC 3 Ni (Kinzer, JCP, to be submitted) See following talk (RE04) on NiC 3 Ni (Kinzer, Matrix/Condensed Phase)

6 Research Objectives To measure the vibrational fundamentals and 13 C isotopic shifts of metal carbon species (MC n ) produced by Nd:YAG laser ablation and trapped in solid Ar at ~10 K. To identify and determine the structures of the MC n species created by comparing Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) measurements with DFT predictions. 13 C shifts are essential to species identification and structure determination.

Frequency (cm -1 ) Absorbance Co rod + 20% 13 C rod Three remaining features Nominal enrichment: 20% 13 C Observed effective enrichment: 9% (based on other C n species) Three features are consistent with a molecule containing three inequivalent C atoms. Linear CoC 3 ?

Frequency (cm -1 ) Absorbance Co rod + 30% 13 C rod Co rod + 20% 13 C rod CHO Milligan & Jacox, JCP Single 13 C shifts? Double 13 C shifts? Full 13 C shift (i.e. Co 13 C 3 )?

12 More Evidence – Intensity Ratios Ratios of the intensities of 13 C isotopomers to the full 12 C isotopomer IsotopomerC3C3 CoC 3 ? Single 13 C~10%~9% Double 13 C~4% Full 13 C~10%~9% Spectra exhibit non-randomization. Compare isotopomer intensities to ν 3 (  u ) = cm -1 mode of C 3 because cm -1 is a candidate for CoC 3.

14 Theoretical Calculations Used DFT with B3LYP functional and G(3df) basis set in Gaussian 03 program suite Calculations performed for linear and C 2v (fan) structures of CoC 3 Also investigated various Co 2 C 3 geometries that were consistent with our FTIR isotopic spectra, but no stable minimum structures with a vibrational fundamental in the right frequency region obtained See talk WH09 (Garcia, Theoretical/Computational Spectroscopy)

18 Conclusions DFT calculations with B3LYP and BPW91 functionals predict the fan and linear isomers are within a few kcal/mol. Lowest energy isomer: BPW91 – 2 B 1 fan B3LYP – 2 Δ linear Calculations do not provide a clear answer for the ground state of CoC 3. Linear CoC 3 was observed in its 2 Δ ground state. The ν 1 ( σ ) C–C stretch has been identified at cm -1. Co

19 Conclusions No evidence of fan-shaped isomer despite a careful search of the FTIR spectra. TiC 3 : Fan-shaped TiC 3 predicted as lowest energy isomer, well-separated energetically from competing linear and kite structures. (Kinzer, JCP 2006) AlC 3 and CrC 3 : AlC 3 predicted to have close-lying linear, kite, and fan-shaped isomers (Barrientos, CPL 2000; Bates, JCP, to be submitted). CrC 3 predicted to have close-lying fan and linear isomers (Zhai, JCP 2004; Bates, JCP 2006). For both AlC 3 and CrC 3, linear isomers observed. Careful searching revealed no evidence of non-linear isomers. This work has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Chemical Physics.
