The major role of TOF-SARS and SARIS is as surface structure analysis teclmiques which are capable of probing the positions of all elements with an accuracy of <0.1 A. They are sensitive to short-range order, i.e. individual interatomic spacings that are <10 A. They provide a direct measure of the interatomic distances in the first and subsurface layers and a measure of surface periodicity in real space. One of its most important applications is the direct determination of hydrogen adsorption sites by recoiling spectrometry [12, 4T ]. Most other surface structure teclmiques do not detect hydrogen, with the possible exception of He atom scattering and vibrational spectroscopy. 

Molecular clusters are weakly bound aggregates of stable molecules. Such clusters can be produced easily using supersonic expansion, and have been extensively studied by both electronic and vibrational spectroscopy [146,...

The convention of indicating a transition involving an upper electronic state N and a lower electronic state M by N-M is analogous to that used in rotational and vibrational spectroscopy. 

The ion [H200H]+ is isoelectronic with H2NOH and vibrational spectroscopy shows it to have the same (Cj) symmetry. 

The phase composition of products obtained from the thermal treatment of LiNbOF4 and NaNbOF4 was investigated using X-ray diffraction and vibration spectroscopy, as reported in [379]. Compounds with the following structures were found M2NbOF5, MNb02F2 and MNbC>3, where M = Li or Na. 

The concentration of this species in liquid sulfur was estimated from the calculated Gibbs energy of formation as ca. 1% of all Ss species at the boihng point [35]. In this context it is interesting to note that the structurally related homocyclic sulfur oxide Sy=0 is known as a pure compound and has been characterized by X-ray crystallography and vibrational spectroscopy [48, 49]. Similarly, branched long chains of the type -S-S-S(=S)-S-S- must be components of the polymeric S o present in liquid sulfur at higher temperatures since the model compound H-S-S-S(=S)-S-S-H was calculated to be by only 53 kJ mol less stable at the G3X(MP2) level than the unbranched helical isomer of HySs [35]. 

Methane-to-methanol conversion by gas-phase transition metal oxide cations has been extensively studied by experiment and theory see reviews by Schroder, Schwarz, and co-workers [18, 23, 134, 135] and by Metz [25, 136]. We have used photofragment spectroscopy to study the electronic spectroscopy of FeO" " [47, 137], NiO [25], and PtO [68], as well as the electronic and vibrational spectroscopy of intermediates of the FeO - - CH4 reaction. [45, 136] We have also used photoionization of FeO to characterize low lying, low spin electronic states of FeO [39]. Our results on the iron-containing molecules are presented in this section. 

Coverage and Secondary Ion Yield Relationship for Ni(100)/CO. We showed above the enormous variation in yields that occurred on going from adsorption to oxide nucleation. In the case of Ni(100)/CO, one can perform more subtle bonding changes by changing the CO coverage. Below 0 O.4 ML, no ordered LEED structure is formed, and vibrational spectroscopy (HRELS) indicates... 

Spin-state transitions have been studied by the application of numerous physical techniques such as the measurement of magnetic susceptibility, optical and vibrational spectroscopy, the Fe-Mbssbauer effect, EPR, NMR, and EXAFS spectroscopy, the measurement of heat capacity, and others. Most of these studies have been adequately reviewed. The somewhat older surveys [3, 19] cover the complete field of spin-state transitions. Several more recent review articles [20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25] have been devoted exclusively to spin-state transitions in compounds of iron(II). Two reviews [26, 27] have considered inter alia the available theoretical models of spin-state transitions. Of particular interest is the determination of the X-ray crystal structures of spin transition compounds at two or more temperatures thus approaching the structures of the pure HS and LS electronic isomers. A recent survey [6] concentrates particularly on these studies.

Two-dimensional (2D) NMR is irrefutably the cornerstone of modem structure elucidation methods.1 Despite the inherently low sensitivity of NMR compared to other forms of analytical spectroscopy such as mass spectrometry and vibrational spectroscopy, NMR methods provide the means of establishing atom-to-atom connectivities that cannot be established by other methods. Supplemented by accurate mass measurements and fragmentation pathway information, NMR data can facilitate the elucidation of most small molecule structures. 

Molecular and dimeric Se02 have been isolated in a low-temperature argon matrix and studied by Raman and vibrational spectroscopy.18 The data provide convincing evidence that the centrosymmetric chair (C2h) configuration for (Se02)2 is strongly favoured. 

A compound containing both Se6+ and Se4+ species is Na2Se04 H2Se03 H20. It has been investigated by X-ray methods and vibrational spectroscopy.84 More recently, the acidic oxo-selenate(I V) KH3(Se03)2 has been reported.85...

In this section we give a simple and qualitative description of chemisorption in terms of molecular orbital theory. It should provide a feeling for why some atoms such as potassium or chlorine acquire positive or negative charge upon adsorption, while other atoms remain more or less neutral. We explain qualitatively why a molecule adsorbs associatively or dissociatively, and we discuss the role of the work function in dissociation. The text is meant to provide some elementary background for the chapters on photoemission, thermal desorption and vibrational spectroscopy. We avoid theoretical formulae and refer for thorough treatments of chemisorption to the literature [2,6-8],...

In addition to the complementary role of these techniques in collecting experimental information, strong and useful interplay is possible in the interpretation of results obtained by these methods. The interrelationship of electron diffraction with mass spectrometry and vibrational spectroscopy is sketched in Fig. 2. This scheme was compiled from the viewpoint of the electron diffraction analysis. Some examples of appUcation will be discussed below.

Electronic and vibrational spectroscopy continues to be important in the characterization of iron complexes of all descriptions. Charge-transfer spectra, particularly of solvatochromic ternary diimine-cyanide complexes, can be useful indicators of solvation, while IR and Raman spectra of certain mixed valence complexes have contributed to the investigation of intramolecular electron transfer. Assignments of metal-ligand vibrations in the far IR for the complexes [Fe(8)3] " " were established by means of Fe/ Fe isotopic substitution. " A review of pressure effects on electronic spectra of coordination complexes includes much information about apparatus and methods and about theoretical aspects, though rather little about specific iron complexes. ...
