Abstract

Reactions of laser–ablated U atoms with (CN)2 produce UNC, U(NC)2, and U(NC)4 as the major products, identified from their Ar matrix infrared spectra and precursors partially and fully substituted with 13C and 15N. Mixed isotopic multiplets substantiate product stoichiometries. Band positions and quantum chemical calculations verify the isocyanide bonding.
