The absorption spectrum of Ag I between 550 Å and 1590 Å has been investigated by using synchrotron radiation as the source of continuum. Over 50 new transitions are reported, nearly all of which can be classified into Rydberg series due to excitation of one electron from the 4d subshell. Identifications are made by comparison with previous studies of the arc spectrum as well as with absorption spectra of related elements. Ab initio Hartree-Fock calculations have revealed the importance of treating 5s 5p 1 P based levels by a separate variational method. Doubly excited configurations are also found, but, in contrast to a previous theoretical prediction, double vacancy production within the 4d subshell is not found to be significant for Ag I.

The structure of the nine-vertex arachno-thiadicarbaborane C2SB6H10 has been established employing the ab initio/IGLO/NMR method. Theoretical IGLO 11B chemical shifts support C and S atom placements at the 4, 6 and 8 positions, respectively, and unambiguously rule out the 4,6,5-C2SB6H10 structural alternative, suggested earlier on the basis of IR and Raman spectroscopy. Important structural features of the 4,6,8-C2SB6H10 geometry include a small B(7)-S(8)-B(9) angle (MP2(fc)/6-31G*: 97.9°) and long S-B bonds (MP2(fc)/6-31G*: 1.905 and 1.924 Å) compared to B-B bonds spanning the 1.71-1.85 Å range.
