June 21, th International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy Importance of Metal Cyanides Metals bonded to CN moiety found in many areas of chemistry Biochemistry (e.g. Vitamin B-12: Co-CN bonds) Pigments (e.g. Prussian Blue: Fe-CN and Fe-NC bonds) Also important in astrophysics Most common metal carriers in interstellar gas (MgNC, MgCN, AlNC, NaCN, KCN identified in several C-rich envelopes) Spectroscopically: Three different structures N M C C N M C N M Alkali-earth/main group M = Ca, Mg, Al, Ga, In (also predicted for early 3d metals) Transition metals M = Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn Alkali metals M = Na, K LINEAR CYANIDE T-SHAPED LINEAR ISOCYANIDE

June 21, th International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy Previous Work on FeNC/FeCN Laser Fluorescence Spectroscopy (Lie & Dagdigian 2001) Observed  = 7/2′ ←  ″ = 9/2 transition of FeN 12 C and FeN 13 C Proposed 6  ground state; same as FeF and FeCl Theoretical Calculations ( DeYonker et al. 2004; Hirano et al. 2006, 2007; Redondo et al. 2010) Several levels of theory Disagree on lowest energy isomer (FeCN vs. FeNC); agree on 6  ground state A bit confusing !!! Who is correct ?? Rotational Spectroscopy (Flory & Ziurys) Observed several rotational transitions FeCN lowest in energy Proposed 4  i ground state; same as FeH Also measured  = 9/2 ladder of FeNC (X 6  i )

June 21, th International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy Conclusions FeCN has X 4  i ground electronic state –Same as FeH, but different than FeF and FeCl ( 6  i ), i.e. FeCN more covalent than ionic Nitrogen hyperfine parameter, h, determined Other early (Sc, Ti) and intermediate (V, Mn) metal cyanide species need to be studied experimentally. FeCN detectable in space (see talk TF06 later today)
