O_(4):从猜想到证实

O_(4):From Guess to Confirmation

20世纪20年代,美国化学家吉尔伯特·牛顿·路易斯提出O_(4)分子存在的猜想。20世纪70年代,科学家利用红外光谱和可见光谱发现了由2个O_(2)分子相互作用形成的O_(4)二聚体。20世纪80年代,科学家通过理论计算提出存在亚稳态共价O_(4)分子。共价O_(4)分子作为氧元素同素异形体被认为是一种潜在的高能量密度材料。2007年,科学家通过评估共价O_(4)分子的稳定性,确定了共价O_(4)分子可被实验检测到。O_(4)的发现史是从猜想到证实的过程,也是科学技术不断进步、科学思想演变发展的过程。

In the 1920s,American chemist Gilbert Newton Lewis made assumption about the existence of O_(4)molecule.In the 1970s,scientists discovered O_(4)dimers using infrared and visible spectroscopy.In the 1980s,scientists proposed the existence of metastable covalent O_(4)molecule through theoretical calculations.The covalent O_(4)molecule as an allotrope of oxygen is considered to be a potential high energy density material.In 2007,By evaluating the stability of covalent O_(4)molecule,scientists have determined that covalent O_(4)molecule can be detected experimentally.The discovery history of O_(4)is a process from guess to confirmation.It is also a process of continuous progress of science and technology and the evolution and development of scientific thoughts.
