摘要
Laser-ablated Ca, Sr, and Ba atoms were co-deposited with H-2 in excess argon, neon, and hydrogen to form alkaline-earth metal hydrides. The metal dihydrides (CaH2, SrH2, and BaH2) were identified in solid argon, neon, and hydrogen. Increasing infrared intensity in the symmetric stretching mode and electronic structure calculations show that these dihydride molecules have decreasing obtuse valence angles, respectively. These MH2 molecules also form (H-2)(n)MH2 complexes. Further dimerization of metal dihydrides gave double-bridged HCaH2CaH with D-2h symmetry and triple-bridged HSrH3Sr and HBaH3Ba with C-3v symmetry, which are confirmed by D-2 and HD isotopic substitutions and quantum chemical calculations. Bonding in heavy alkaline metal hydrides is discussed.
