Abstract
Gaseous HgH2, CdH2, and ZnH2 molecules were synthesized by the direct gas-phase reaction of excited mercury, cadmium, and zinc atoms with molecular hydrogen. The molecules were identified by their high-resolution infrared emission spectra, and the metal-hydrogen bond lengths were determined from the rotational analysis of the antisymmetric stretching fundamental bands.
