🎁Happy 60th birthday, Peter Schreiner! With the spectacular synthesis of “impossible” #hexanitrogen (doi.org/10.1038/s415...) he basically gave himself the perfect present. #OrganicChemistry #MatrixIsolation #Organocatalysis #ComputationalChemistry

Matrix-isolation IR spectra of iodotrifluoroethylene (C2F3I) The infrared spectra of iodotrifluoroethylene (ITFE) recorded under matrix-isolation (MI) conditions in para-hydrogen, neon and argon were investigated. The experimental spectra were analyzed by compa...

Malte's paper on C2F3I is out in @pccp.rsc.org! The #matrixisolation IR spectra in para-H2 and Ne are perfectly described by anharmonic VPT2 calculations, and that there are two stable sites in Ar matrix. Dimerziation in Ar is discussed as well.
