experimental data and the simplicity of the TIP4P potential. The experimental densities of pressurized ice, estimated from the compression curve reported in ref 32, are compared with the N M D results in Figure lb. Experimentally, when ice is compressed, the density increases approximately linearly until about 10 kbar where it undergoes a pseudo-first-order transition into a high-density amorphous phase.32 As evident from the figure, a similar compression curve was obtained from the MD calculations. Below 10 kbar the ice sample compresses elastically, resembling the experimental trend. The bulk modulus of ice Ih at zero pressure, estimated from the initial slope of the density vs pressure curve, is 80 kbar, which compares favorably with the experimental value of 89 kbar.33 However, the calculated densities are systematically larger than experiment by about 3.0%. Between 10 and 17 kbar the ice sample transforms gradually into a higher density amorphous form. The transformation is less abrupt than observed experimentally. On completion of the “transition”, the calculated density of the high-density amorphous phase is 1.41 g cm-) whereas the experimental value is 1.31 g cm13.32 The “sluggish” transition found in the simulations is probably due to the small sample size and/or the length of the M D trajectories. amorphous solid-phase The mechanism of this ordered transformation is discussed in detail e l s e ~ h e r e . ~ ~

Conclusion In summary, we have shown that the TIP4P intermolecular potential for water provides a reasonable description of the structure of liquid water and ice under moderate external pressure. Below 10 kbar, the calculated density for liquid water agrees reasonably well with experimental data. Moreover, the agreement between the calculated and measured neutron radial distribution functions of water at about 10 kbar demonstrates the reliability of the predicted liquid structure. Although the densities were amorphous transition overestimated slightly and the ordered region is broader than observed, the TIP4P potential also reproduces correctly the effect of pressure on crystalline ice. The systematic offset in the calculated solid density is consistent with a previous NMD ~ p t i m i z a t i o nof~ the ~ structure of proton-ordered ice IX where the TIP4P potential model also gave a slightly higher density. The results presented here indicate that the TIP4P effective, pairwise additive, intermolecular potential has a surprisingly wide range of utility for investigating the properties of water. Our calculations complement recent work on the nature of supercooled water which was carried out with this potential.35

Optical Spectra of Matrix-Isolated Palladium Atoms. 1. The Absorption and Emission Spectra and the Decay Kinetics of the 3D3Metastable State of Pd in Ar Matrices Geoffrey A. Ozin* and Jaime Garcia-Prieto Lash Miller Chemical Laboratories, Chemistry Department, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5S I A1 (Received: May 22, 1987)

Using the principle of optical-optical double resonance spectroscopy, the 4d95s’, PD3 metastable state of Pd atoms isolated in an Ar matrix at 12 K has been identified. It is shown that the optical absorption spectra from this state correspond to those previously reported for “transient states” of Pd atoms isolated in Ne and Kr matrices at 5.5 K. On this basis a complete assignment of these spectra is presented for the first time. With this information it has also been possible to assign in a consistent manner the narrow line width emission spectra which result from photoexcitation of Pd atoms in the 200-260-nm absorption region. An explanation of the dynamic effects observed in these spectra is also offered. A lifetime of 2.2 iC 0.2 min for the 3D3metastable state has been determined. As a direct consequence of these discoveries, several conclusions have been drawn. First, the absorption spectra of Pd atoms isolated in Ar matrices consist of the superposition of two spectra originating from the AJ (AJ = 0 iC 1,O .ry~,0) allowed transitions from the gas-phase ‘So ground state and the 3D3metastable state. Second, there are at least two major Pd atom trapping sites which display distinct excited electronic state relaxation behavior. Third, almost all of the observed radiative electronic transitions are allowed under the AJ selection rule and moreover show a good correlation with the gas-phase Pd atomic resonance spectra. Finally the optical spectra of Pd atoms isolated in Ar and Ne matrices show more similarities than previously thought.

Introduction A knowledge of matrix perturbation effects on the ground and excited electronic states of a metal atom isolated in a solid matrix is a fundamental prerequisite for understanding, controlling, and predicting reaction pathway(s) with other coisolated atoms or molecules. In the past 5 years the understanding of these effects has been greatly enhanced by the application of sophisticated spectroscopic techniques in the matrix isolation field.’ An example (1) (a) Ozin, G .

Results The absorption spectrum of Pd atoms isolated in an Ar matrix at 12 K is shown in Figure 1. Through a limitation of our UV-visible-near-IR absorption spectrometer, the scans were necessarily from long to short wavelengths. As expected this spectrum is virtually identical with that recently reported by Kolb and co-w~rkers'~ at 5.5 K and also with the data published earlier from our laboratory at 6-8 K.21925 With the exception of the two very weak features around 265 nm and 300 nm one finds that high ordinate expansion (X17) in the 260-900-nm region does not reveal any other detectable absorption bands. Annealing experiments at different temperatures show substantial changes in intensity as well as in the profile of the spectra. As reported previously, annealing in the 12-25 K temperature range causes changes in the 200-280-nm spectral range indicative of a redistribution of Pd trapping sites25and Pd agglomeration at higher temperature^.'^ In contrast, photolysis at different absorption regions for periods of 1 h does not induce any detectable changes in the spectra. The emission spectra of Pd atoms isolated in an Ar matrix resulting from excitation at different absorption wavelengths are shown in Figure 2. From these emission spectra one can distinguish two sets of bands, one consisting of several relatively narrow lines in the 300-600-nm region and the other consisting of only one broad band at 486 nm. The excitation spectra of the most prominent emission bands are shown in Figure 3. Note that through limitations of our fluorescence spectrometer the scans were always from short to long wavelengths. At first glance the spectra consist of two regions, one between 200 and 270 nm which corresponds very well with the absorption spectra of matrix-isolated Pd atoms and the second between 290 and 350 nm, which, with the exception of the very weak band around 300 nm, do not have similar detectable bands in the Pd atomic absorption spectra of Figure 1. It is also noticeable that the excitation spectra associated with the broad 486-nm emission band is the only one which does not show any excitation band(s) in the 290-350-nm spectral range.
