Transition metal derivatives of SiO: interaction of molecular SiO with silver atoms in an argon matrix
Abstract
Co-condensation of silver atoms with monomeric SiO and an excess of argon yields Ag(SiO) and probably Ag2(SiO), identifiable by their i.r. spectra; 28,29,30Si and 16,18O isotopic shifts imply not a linear but a triangular structure for Ag(SiO) with ∠ AgSiO ⩽ 90°
