Photolysis of in O2-doped Ar matrices at low temperatures produces, inter alia, a species which contains both CO and O2.Experiments with (13)CO-enriched and with matrices doped with (16)O2, (16)O(18)O, and (18)O2 show that this species contains two CO groups and two oxygen atoms double-bonded to the metal.This structure is thus 'chromyl carbonyl' and further evidence for this comes from the photochemical generation of the species from chromyl chloride in solid CO.The generation of CO and CO2 during the carbonyl photolysis suggests a possible mechanism involving oxidation of CO to CO2 on the metal centre.
