  • Title: Formation and infrared spectroscopic characterization of three oxygen-rich BiO4 isomers in solid argon.
    Author: Wang C, Chen M, Li ZH, Zhou M.
    Journal: J Phys Chem A; 2013 Nov 07; 117(44):11217-24. PubMed ID: 24112025.
    Abstract:
    The reactions of bismuth atoms and O2 have been investigated using matrix isolation infrared spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations. The ground state bismuth atoms react with dioxygen to form the BiOO and Bi(O2)2 complexes spontaneously on annealing. The BiOO molecule is characterized to be an end-on bonded superoxide complex, while the Bi(O2)2 molecule is characterized to be a superoxo bismuth peroxide complex, [Bi(3+)(O2(-))(O2(2-))]. Under UV-visible light irradiation, the Bi(O2)2 complex rearranges to the more stable OBiOOO isomer, an end-on bonded bismuth monoxide-ozonide complex. The end-on-bonded OBiOOO complex further rearranges to a more stable side-on bonded OBiO3 isomer upon sample annealing. In addition, the bent bismuth dioxide anion is also formed and assigned.
