Abstract
In a recent publication [Chem. Phys. Lett.2024,836, 141023], Yang, Zhao, and Wang report reactions of silane molecules with laser ablated manganese or rhenium atoms trapped in cryogenic argon matrices. The samples containing matrix-isolated metal atoms and silane were exposed to UV light, and the photoproducts were identified experimentally by infrared spectroscopy. The interpretation of experiments was assisted by quantum chemical calculations of infrared spectra and potential energy surfaces of the studied systems. In this Comment, an alternative assignment of the photoproduct formed between silane and rhenium atoms is presented and justified.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Physics Letters has an open access mirror journal, Chemical Physics Letters: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
Chemical Physics Letters publishes brief reports on molecules, interfaces, condensed phases, nanomaterials and nanostructures, polymers, biomolecular systems, and energy conversion and storage.
Criteria for publication are quality, urgency and impact. Further, experimental results reported in the journal have direct relevance for theory, and theoretical developments or non-routine computations relate directly to experiment. Manuscripts must satisfy these criteria and should not be minor extensions of previous work.
