Laser excited fluorescence of I2

The fluorescence spectrum of iodine was investigated from 200 to 520 nm in the presence and absence of buffer gases following excitation of I₂ with 193 nm photons. The pressure dependence of the fluorescence and tentative transition assignments for one new and several less well-known I₂ emission bands are discussed.     

Picosecond dye laser excitation of I2 fluorescence and resonance raman emission in CCI4 and cyclohexane

The emission spectra of I₂ excited at 607 nm in CCl₄ and cyclohexane exhibit resonance Raman emission bands accompanied by featureless red-infrared continua. and are identical for 1.5 μs and 3 ps pumping pulses. The continua consist primarily of vibrationally unrelaxed B³ Π_o+u → X^I ∑_g⁺ fluorescences.     

The resonance raman effects of VCl4 and SnI4

Raman spectra of VCl₄ and SnI₄ in solution are obtained using the exciting lines of a HeNe and an Ar⁺ laser. The spectra show a pre-resonance Raman effect with an enhancement of the stretching vibrations for shorter wavelengths of excitation. The features of the intensity variation are discussed quantitatively in terms of the frequency factors given by Albrecht and Hutley.     

The resonance raman effect of TiBr4 and TiL4

Raman spectra of TiBr₄ and Til₄ in solutions were obtained using the excitation lines of a HeNe and Ar⁺ laser. The spectra of TiBr₄ showed a pre-resonance effect with selective enhancement of the stretching vibrations for the shorter wavelength of excitation. A typical resonance Raman effect was observed for TiI₄ by the 5145 and 4880 Å excitation lines, which lie close to the maximum of the first absorption band, giving an intense overtone progression of the totally symmetric mode ν₁.     

The A Πu-X Πg emission spectrum of I2

The A ²Π_u-X ²Π_g electronic emission spectrum of I₂⁺ has been recorded at a low rotational temperature in a crossed molecular beam/electron beam apparatus. Six vibrational sequences with five or more members have been assigned to progressions in ν′, giving ω′_e = 122±8 cm⁻¹, but a full vibrational analysis has not been possible. It is not known whether this is due to the relatively poor resolution (≈5 cm⁻¹) at which the spectrum has been recorded or because the A ²Π_u state is perturbed in one or both spin-orbit components. Existing data on the A state of I₂⁺ are reviewed.     

Nuclear spin-spin coupling in the spectrum of I2 at 6328 Å

The effects of nuclear spin-spin coupling are included in the analysis of the nuclear hyperfine structure of the R(127) line of the 11-5 band in the B-X electronic band system of I₂. The fit to the experimental data is improved over earlier fits in which only the effects of nuclear spin-rotation interaction and nuclear electric quadrupole coupling were considered. The electron-coupled contribution to the spin-spin constant of the upper state is determined to be d_E = ?36.3 ± 8.5 kHz. However, the fit (standard deviation = 59.8 kHz) is still not at the level of the experimental precision (40 kHz) and further measurements are in progress to test the model used for the hfs hamiltonian.     

Resonant raman scattering from the S2 ion in NaI

The S₂⁻ molecule ion in NaI crystals exhibits multiple-order resonance Raman scattering at 80 K with little background luminescence. Relative scattering efficiencies measured for up to nine Raman overtones are compared with the theory of Hizhnyakov and Tehver.     

The infrared spectrum and force field of the methyl-ammonium ion in (CH3NH3)2PtCl6

Infrared spectra of the CH₃NH₃⁺, CH₃ND₃⁺, CD₃NH₃⁺ and CD₃ND₃⁺ ions in bis(methylammonium)hexachloroplatinate(IV) have been recorded. The spectra are entirely consistent with the C_3v symmetry reported for the methylammonium ion, at temperatures between room temperature and 90 K. No spectral manifestations of the phase transition, which in (CH₃NH₃)₂PtCl₆ has been reported to take place at 125 K, were observed. Assignments of the infrared-active fundamentals have been made for each ion and a normal-coordinate analysis has been performed using the observed fundamental frequencies. Comparison with the infrared spectra of other methylammonium salts shows that hydrogen bonding in (CH₃NH₃)₂PtCl₆, if present, is weak.     

The dissociation energies of gaseous Br2 and I2

New rotational analyses have been made of the B³Π_0⁺u—X¹Σ⁺_g systems of ⁷⁹Br₂, ⁸¹Br₂ and ¹²⁷I₂. The density of vibrational states near the dissociation limit in the upper states follows the LeRoy—Bernstein predictions for n = 5. From short extrapolations, the ground state dissociation energies are found to be: D₀(⁷⁹Br⁸¹Br) = 15895.6 cm^?1, D₀(¹²⁷I₂) = 12440.1 cm^?1.     

Molecular beams of CF3Br probed by spontaneous raman effect and excited with a CO2 laser

The state population of CF₃Br is found to be entirely non-thermal under certain molecular beam conditions; the various vibrational modes show distributions which can be described using mode-temperatures differing by as much as a factor of 1.7. Considerable vibrational excitation (ν₁, ν₂ + ν₃) was produced with a focused cw CO₂ laser. A structured excitation spectrum was observed.

The thermal dissociation of the [Co(en)3](SCN)3 and [Co(en)3]I3 complexes

The thermal dissociation of the [Co(en)₃](SCN)₃ and [Co(en)₃]I₃ complexes was studied by thermogravimetry, differential thermal analysis, thermomagnetic analysis, pyrolytic techniques, evolved gas analysis, and mass spectrometry, in vacuo and nitrogen atmospheres. It was found that the [Co(en)₃](SCN)₃ complex dissociated in four steps:

It was not possible to elucidate the intermediate compounds formed in the thermal dissociation of the [Co(en)₃]I₃ complex.     

Mechanism of vibrational relaxation and intersystem crossing within excited ion-pair states of I2

Visible and ultraviolet fluorescence of I₂, following excitation by ArF/193nm excimer laser pulses, was recorded for different pressures of argon buffer gas in a flow system. Dispersed fluorescence spectra due to the transitionsD’(2_g) → A’(2_y andD(0 _n ⁺ )→X0 _g ⁺ ) were analysed by inversion and spectral simulations. Thus vibrational distributions in the emitting states were obtained as a function of pressure to determine the mechanism of relaxation to populate the lowest quantum levels of theD’ state, which are the emitting states in the iodine laser. Fast intersystem crossing is found to occur from initially populated vibrational levels of theD state to other ion-pair states correlating with the ground state ions, followed by rapid relaxation, involving both direct vibrational relaxation within individual states and intersystem crossing between states.     

On the crystal structure of the germanium-based cationic clathrates [Ge38.3Sb7.7]I7.44, [Ge38.1P7.9]I8, and [Ge30.5Sn7.7P7.75]I7.88

Compounds [Ge_38.3Sb_7.7]I_7.44, [Ge_38.1P_7.9]I₈, and [Ge_30.5Sn_7.7P_7.75]I_7.88 with the clathrate type-I structure were synthesized. They crystallize in the cubic space group Pm[`3]nPm\bar 3n with the unit cell parameter a = 10.8592(9), 10.4983(12), and 10.7210(10) ? (Z = 1), respectively. Their crystal structure represents the germanium(tin)-pnictogen framework, capturing the guest iodine anions in its cavities. All compounds have no vacancies in the host substructure; however, two of them show vacancies in the guest positions. The atomic distribution over the framework sites is of the most interest as it follows trends associated with the relative electronegativities of the atoms composing the framework. The results of the band structure calculations and application of the Zintl counting scheme are also discussed in relation to potential thermoelectric properties.

The ν3 infrared spectrum of the He---NH4 complex

The mid-infrared spectrum of the ionic complex He---NH₄⁺ has been recorded in the vicinity of the triply degenerate ν₃ (t₂) vibration of the free ammonium ion. Apart from a small blue shift (≈ 0.7 cm⁻¹), the spectrum of the complex closely resembles that of the monomer. Ab initio calculations predict a vertex-bound minimum structure with an intermolecular well depth D_e ≈ 150 cm⁻¹, a center-of-mass separation of R_e ≈ 3.17 Å and barriers for internal rotation less than 30 cm⁻¹.

Rate of the reaction I2 + F2 → products

The rate coefficient, k1, for the reaction I2+F2k1→ products has been measured at room temperature to be k1 = (1.9 = 0.4) × 10?15 cm3/molecule s. The macroscopic rate is compared to microscopic cross-section data obtained from molecular beam experiments and is found to be consistent with the bimolecular reaction I2 + F2→ I2F + F.DG|National Research Council/Resident Research Associate.
