The interaction between water and phosphine in solid argon matrices was investigated, revealing the formation of a weak hydrogen bonded complex.
The interaction between water and phosphine isolated in solid argon matrices has been investigated. Infrared spectra of matrices containing water and phosphine, as well as their deuterium and O-18 isotopologues, revealed that a weak hydrogen bonded complex is formed, with an O-HMIDLINE HORIZONTAL ELLIPSISP bonding motif. This was supported by high level ab initio calculations, which predict a binding energy of only 5.1 kJ mol(-1) (430 cm(-1)).
