Luminescent and thermochromic properties of tellurium(IV) halide complexes with cesium

The spectral?luminescent and thermochromic properties of complex compounds of the composition Cs₂TeHal₆ (Hal = Cl, Br, I) are studied. The interrelation between the geometric structure and spectral–luminescent properties is studied using the example on complex compounds of tellurium(IV) halides with cesium. The Stokes shift and the luminescence intensity of Тe(IV) ions with island octahedral coordination are found to depend on the position of the A band in the luminescence excitation spectra, the diffuse reflection, and the energy of the luminescent ³P₁ → ¹S₀ transition of the tellurium(IV) ion. The maximum luminescence intensity and the minimum Stokes shift at 77 and 300 K are observed for Cs₂TeСl₆. The geometrical and electronic factors responsible for luminescence intensification in Te(IV) complexes under study are analyzed.
