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.
