title: Fourier transform infrared isotopic study of SiC5: identification of the ν(4)(σ) mode.
abstract: SiC5 in its (3)Σ ground state has been produced by trapping the products from the laser evaporation of a sintered silicon-carbon rod in solid Ar. For the first time a vibrational fundamental has been measured, the ν4(σ) asymmetric stretch at 936.9 ± 0.2 cm(-1). Comparison of observed (13)C and (29,30)Si isotopic shifts with the predictions of DFT-B3LYP/cc-pVDZ calculations confirms the identification.
