AAC/PA Data reduction approach Use spectroscopic assignments from CFT analysis, but abandon parameters extracted from fits. Eliminate M J dependent splittings: P(1) avg = [P(1) || + 2P(1) ] / 3 R(0) avg = [R(0) || + 2R(0) ] / 3 Limit analysis to J = 0, 1 states; define: B eff (pH 2 ) [R(0) avg - P(1) avg ] / 4 For gas phase 12 C 16 O: [R(0)-P(1)] / 4 = cm -1 (B v=0 +B v=1 ) / 2 = cm -1 B avg = B e + e

AAC/PA B eff (pH 2 ) / B avg (gas) vs. M Rough linear correlation between matrix effect and mass asymmetry in CO molecule: M = M O - M C ; r 2 = for fcc, for hcp. Correlation suggested by G. Scoles, private communication (2000). Physical interpretation?
4 60th International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy, Talk RG04, 23 June 2005, Ohio State University, Columbus, OH Approved for Public Release; Distribution Unlimited. AAC/PA Rotation-Translation Coupling Physical assumptions: (1) Molecular "center-of-interaction" (C.I.) occupies trapping site center at equilibrium. (2) Molecular center-of-mass (C.M.) moves relative to trapping site center during rotation another angular momentum to consider: I 1 = Ma 2 where: M is the molecular mass, and a is the separation between C.M. and C.I. For free rotation about C.I. in a rigid cage: B eff / B = I / (I + I 1 ) = I / (I + Ma 2 ) 1 - Ma 2 /I + O (a 4 ) Isotopic substitution moves molecular C.M.; expect quadratic relation between B eff /B & a.

AAC/PA Pseudorotating Cage model J. Manz, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 102, 1801 (1980). T. Momose, H. Hoshina, M. Fushitani, and H. Katsuki, Vib. Spec. 34, 95 (2004). Physical assumptions: (1) Molecular rotation is coupled to synchronous pseudorotation of matrix cage atoms. Second contribution to effective molecular moment of inertia: I 2 2 i m i r i 2 Propose without proof: the matrix cage atom displacements, r, depend linearly on the C.M. to C.I. separation, a. Then: I 2 (a + k) 2, and again expect nonlinear relation between B eff /B & a.

AAC/PA C.M. position in CO isotopomers Isotopic substitution in CO permits systematic variation of position of molecular C.M., and thus of a.

AAC/PA B eff (pH 2 ) / B avg (gas) vs. C.M. Excellent linear correlation between matrix effect and location of C.M. (plotted relative to C atom); r 2 = for fcc, for hcp. But, Rotation-Translation Coupling and Pseudorotating Cage models predict curvature in B eff /B vs. a !?! Physical significance of linear correlations?
8 60th International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy, Talk RG04, 23 June 2005, Ohio State University, Columbus, OH Approved for Public Release; Distribution Unlimited. AAC/PA "Experimental" C.I. for CO/pH 2 Extrapolation of linear correlations back to B eff /B avg = 1 (i.e. vanishing matrix effect on rotations) yields "experimentally determined" C.I. located Å from C atom, or Å from C.M. of 12 C 16 O. {Co-locating C.M. and C.I. ( a = 0) would require M C = M O ; thus, not physically realizable. Closest would be 22 C 13 O, but t 1/2 ( 22 C) t 1/2 ( 13 O) 9 ms making a matrix isolation experiment "very challenging."}

11 60th International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy, Talk RG04, 23 June 2005, Ohio State University, Columbus, OH Approved for Public Release; Distribution Unlimited. AAC/PA Summary * Observed excellent (r 2 =0.996) linear correlation between B eff /B and location of C.M. in isotopically manipulated CO molecules trapped in solid pH 2. * Leading candidate theories (RTC & PC) predict non-linear correlations; more work needed here. * Extrapolation of linear fits to B eff /B vs. a data yield "experimentally determined" C.I. location Å closer to C atom than C.M. * Theoretical estimate from ab-initio CO-pH 2 potential places C.I Å closer to C atom than C.M.
