Abstract
Laser-induced fluorescence has been used effectively to produce emission spectra from matrix-isolated metal diatomics and triatomics. The matrix prevents these molecules from aggregating further to bulk metal. Likewise the matrix environment allows sufficient quantities of such weak species as Mn2, that is, a van der Waals dimer to be accumulated, so as to make its dispersed emission spectrum measurable. In this way the properties of species such as Mn2 and Mn3 have been determined.
