Abstract
The reactions of transition and main group metals, including Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mo, Zn, Ga and Ge, with molecular hydrogen have been investigated using FT-IR matrix isolation spectroscopy. The reactions of gallium with methane in Ar, Kr and pure methane matrices have also been studied.
All the above metals (except Ge) encounter an energy barrier and require photoexcitation to insert into the H-H bond to form MH
