Infrared spectra of NH2NO, NH2NO+, and NNOH+ and of the N2...H2O complex trapped in solid neon.
When a Ne:H2:N2O mixture is co-deposited at 4.3 K with a beam of neon atoms that have been excited in a microwave discharge, NH2NO+ is stabilized in sufficient concentration for detection of five of its vibrational fundamentals. Their assignments are supported by isotopic substitution studies and by the results of unrestricted B3LYP/cc-pVTZ calculations. Electron recombination results in the stabilization of NH2NO, for which the previously reported argon-matrix assignments are confirmed and extended. The OH-stretching fundamental of NNOH+ also is present in the spectrum of the initial sample deposit, but because of proton sharing with the neon matrix is shifted 43.3 cm(-1) from the gas-phase band center. The OD-stretching fundamental of NNOD+ is identified for the first time in the present study. An absorption at 2311.1 cm(-1) is contributed by the NN-stretching vibration of a complex of N2, probably with an ionic species. On prolonged visible and near-ultraviolet irradiation of the deposit, absorptions of the binary N2...H2O complex become increasingly prominent.
