Abstract

Interactions between molecules relevant to the atmospheres of Earth and other planets were investigated using matrix isolation Fourier transform infrared (MI–FTIR) spectroscopy and high level ab initio and density functional theory calculations. The MI–FTIR technique allows one to isolate molecules or molecular complexes to examine them spectroscopically, making the technique particularly effective at probing the interactions between molecules. The interactions between several chalcogen (hydrogen sulfide; water) and pnicogen (ammonia; methylamine; dimethylamine; trimethylamine; ethylamine; n-propylamine; phosphine) species in solid argon matrices were investigated to characterise the fundamental interactions between chalcogen and pnicogen species.
