Abstract
Matrix isolation is a technique for trapping isolated molecules of the species to be studied in a large excess of an inert material by rapid condensation at a low temperature, so that the diluent forms a rigid cage or matrix. At a sufficiently low temperature, diffusion of the solute species is prevented and thus reactive species may be stabilized for leisurely spectroscopic examination. The noble gases (primarily argon) and nitrogen are the most widely used matrix materials. Infrared, Raman, visible-ultraviolet, electron spin resonance, Mossbauer and magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopies have all been used in conjunction with the matrix isolation technique.
