Laboratory Experiments

Abstract
Cryogenic matrix isolation procedures are of interest pedagogically because they provide a method for observing reaction intermediates in the photolysis of metal carbonyls using a variety of spectroscopic methods. We describe here an inexpensive and straightforward method for generating and observing the reaction intermediate formed by the photolysis of Cr(CO)6 in a low temperature solid matrix that may be carried out easily in the undergraduate physical or inorganic chemistry laboratory.
