	abstract = {A pulsed jet cavity Fourier transform microwave spectrometer has been used to measure the rotational spectra of OCAgX (X = F, Cl, Br) in the frequency range 5-22 GHz, Metal atoms were generated via laser ablation and were allowed to react with CO and a halide precursor, prior to stabilization of the products within a supersonic jet of argon. These are the first experimental observations of OCAgF and OCAgBr, and the first high resolution spectroscopic study of OCAgCl. All three molecules are linear, Accurately determined rotational constants have been used to evaluate the various internuclear distances, which are found to be consistent with trends established for OCAuX and OCCuX species. The C-O distances are short, and the M-C distances are significantly longer than those in other molecules containing a metal-carbonyl bond, Precise values of centrifugal distortion constants and halogen nuclear quadrupole coupling constants have also been determined. The coupling constants are compared with the results of previous studies of OCCuX and OCAuX and are used to infer trends in the electron distributions of the molecules. Ab initio calculations have been performed and employed to predict the geometries, vibrational frequencies, and Mulliken valence orbital populations of the various species.},

	abstract = {The microwave spectrum of KrAgF has been assigned between 8-18 GHz, using a cavity pulsed-jet Fourier transform microwave spectrometer. The structure of the molecule has been calculated from the measured rotational constants of four isotopomers. Values for the Kr-Ag and Ag-F bond lengths of similar to2.594 and similar to1.957 Angstrom respectively have been determined. A small centrifugal distortion constant (similar to0.3 kHz) indicates that the molecule is comparatively rigid. The stretching frequency and dissociation energy of the Kr-Ag bond have been subjected to ab initio calculation at the MP2 level, yieling results of similar to113 cm(-1) and similar to32 kJ mol(-1) respectively. A Mulliken orbital population analysis suggests that the Kr-Ag bond is weakly covalent in nature. All parameters are found to be consistent with trends established for ArMX and KrMX species.

	abstract = {Microwave spectra of the three Group 13 metal cyanide pairs AlNC/AlCN, GaNC/GaCN, and InNC/InCN have been measured in the frequency range 6-25 GHz using a pulsed jet cavity Fourier transform microwave spectrometer. The molecules were prepared by ablating the metal with a pulsed Nd:YAG laser and allowing the vapor to react with cyanogen or acetonitrile contained in the Ar backing gas of the jet. The spectra are those of linear molecules. Rotational constants. centrifugal distortion constants. and nuclear quadrupole coupling constants have been precisely evaluated. Molecular geometries determined from the rotational constants using a linear model have revealed unexpectedly short NC bond lengths for the isocyanides, MNC, and are interpreted in terms of a broadened potential well for the bending mode of these molecules. This interpretation is confirmed with ab initio calculations. The centrifugal distortion constants are consistent with this picture. A new formulation of the rigid bender model has produced plausible values for bond lengths and bending amplitudes for the isocyanides. The N-14 quadrupole coupling constants are discussed in terms of the approximate bending amplitudes. A description of the bonding in the molecules has been obtained using Townes-Dailey theory.

	abstract = {A pulsed jet cavity Fourier transform microwave spectrometer has been used to measure the rotational spectra of OCCuX (X = F, Cl, Br) in the frequency range 5-21 GHz. Metal atoms were generated via laser ablation and were allowed to react with CO and a halide precursor, prior to stabilization of the products within a supersonic jet. These are the first experimental observations of OCCuF and OCCuBr and the first high-resolution spectroscopic study of gas-phase OCCuCl. All three molecules were found to be linear. Rotational constants, centrifugal distortion constants, nuclear quadrupole coupling constants, and nuclear spin-rotation coupling constants have been precisely determined. The rotational constants have been used to evaluate the various bond lengths, and the results are in good agreement with the trend established for OCAuX species. The C-O distance is found to be comparatively short and close to that of free CO. The M-C distance is longer than that predicted by ab initio calculations, and the Cu-X distances are very similar to those observed in the corresponding metal halides. Vibrational wavenumbers have been estimated from the distortion constants and are compared with the results of various ab initio studies. Changes in the Cu, Cl, and Br nuclear quadrupole coupling constants indicate that substantial charge rearrangement takes place on coordination with CO, consistent with the formation of strong Cu-C bonds. Mulliken orbital population analyses have been performed and provide evidence of pi -back-donation from Cu in all of the species studied. The evaluated nuclear spin-rotation coupling constants have been used to estimate the Cu-63 nuclear shielding constants, sigma, and their spans (Omega) in (OCCuF)-Cu-63, (OCCuCl)-Cu-63-Cl-35, and (OCCuBr)-Cu-63-Br-79.},

The complex was found to be linear and relatively rigid, with a Kr-Ag bond length of similar to2.641 Angstrom. The Kr-Ag stretching frequency was estimated to be 117 cm(-1). Ab initio calculations performed at the MP2 level of theory gave the geometry, vibration frequencies, Kr-Ag bond dissociation energy, and orbital populations. The Kr-Ag bond dissociation energy was estimated to be -28 kJ mol(-1). The Kr-Ag force constant and dissociation energy are greater than those of Ar-Ag in Ar-AgCl. The chlorine nuclear quadrupole coupling constants show slight changes on complex formation. Ab initio orbital population analysis shows a small shift in sigma -electron density from Kr to Ag on complex formation. The combined experimental and ab initio results are consistent with the presence of a weak Kr-Ag covalent bond. (C) 2001 Academic Press},

The overall average absolute deviation (AAD) from experiment was found to be 0.55 eV and only 0.31 eV for linear molecules but 0.86 eV for nonplanar molecules. A number of VIPs were in error by over 2 eV. In particular, DFT performed most poorly when ionization was from an orbital with highly varying density gradients (which arise from the orbital{\textquoteright}s shape or compactness or through its density being distributed over a number of atoms). Indications are that many or all present-day functionals suffer from the same failings. (C) 2001 John Wiley \& Sons, Inc.},
