Matrix-isolation and ab initio study of HKrCCCl and HXeCCCl

We report on two new noble-gas molecules, HKrCCCl and HXeCCCl, prepared in low-temperature Kr and Xe matrices. These molecules are made by UV photolysis of HCCCl in the matrices and subsequent thermal annealing. The HCCCl precursor is produced by microwave discharge of a mixture of a matrix gas with trichloroethylene (HClC=CCl{sub 2}). The assignments of the new noble-gas molecules are supported by deuteration experiments and quantum chemical calculations at the MP2(full) and CCSD(T) levels of theory with the def2-TZVPPD basis set. No evidence of ClXeCCH, which is computationally reliably stable, is found in the experiments. ClKrCCH as well as the Ar compounds HArCCCl and ClArCCH are not observed either, which is in agreement with the calculations.
