Mercury–fluorine interactions: a matrix isolation investigation of Hg⋯F2, HgF2 and HgF4 in argon matrices (2008)
Journal Article
Rooms, J. F., Wilson, A. V., Harvey, I., Bridgeman, A. J., & Young, N. A. (2008). Mercury–fluorine interactions: a matrix isolation investigation of Hg⋯F2, HgF2 and HgF4 in argon matrices. Physical chemistry chemical physics : PCCP, 10(31), 4594-4605. https://doi.org/10.1039/b805608k

HgF2 and Hg have been trapped in dilute F2/Ar and neat F2 matrices, subjected to UV-Vis and vac-UV photolysis and annealing, with the products identified by FTIR, UV-Vis-NIR and Hg L3-edge XAFS spectroscopic techniques. Whilst there was no convincing... Read More about Mercury–fluorine interactions: a matrix isolation investigation of Hg⋯F2, HgF2 and HgF4 in argon matrices.

TiF2: Linear or bent? (2008)
Journal Article
Wilson, A. V., Roberts, A. J., & Young, N. A. (2008). TiF2: Linear or bent?. Angewandte Chemie, 47(9), 1774-1776. https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.200704667

Calling nonlinearity into question: When Ti atoms are isolated in fluorine-doped argon matrices, TiF 4 , TiF 3 , TiF 2 , and TiF are identified by their IR spectra. The Ti isotope pattern observed for the ν 3 mode of TiF 2 is indistinguishable from t... Read More about TiF2: Linear or bent?.

Synthesis and characterization of nanoporous phospho-tungstate organic-inorganic hybrid materials (2008)
Journal Article
Rao, K. N., Dingwall, L. D., Gai, P. L., Lee, A. F., Tavener, S. J., Young, N. A., & Wilson, K. (2008). Synthesis and characterization of nanoporous phospho-tungstate organic-inorganic hybrid materials. Journal of Materials Chemistry, 18(8), 868-874. https://doi.org/10.1039/b715826b

Nanoporous phospho-tungstate organic-inorganic hybrid materials have been synthesized from sodium tungstate and mono-n-dodecyl phosphate (MDP), which was used as both surfactant and phosphorus precursor. These hybrid materials were thoroughly charact... Read More about Synthesis and characterization of nanoporous phospho-tungstate organic-inorganic hybrid materials.
