Abstract: | Raman Spectra of the System PCl5? TeCl4 Raman spectra of solid and molten PCl5? TeCl4 mixtures have been recorded. The solid 1:1 mixture contains the compound nPCl4 + (TeCl5?)n. In the molten state there are different fragmentation equilibria between the polymeric (TeCl5)?n, TeCl62?, and lower charged units. The spectra of TeCl4 rich samples indicate different species like Te3Cl13?, Te2Cl102?, and (TeCl5?)n. In such melts the equilibria are shifted to lower charged oligomeres and TeCl5?. |
