Vibrational Spectroscopy of Hexahalo Complexes.

ABSTRACT: Halogenated inorganic complexes A_x[MHal_y] (A = alkali metal or alkaline earth, M = transition or main group metal, x = 1-3, and y = 2-9) are an archetypal class of compounds that provide entry points to large areas of inorganic and physical chemistry. All of the hexahalo complexes adopt an octahedral, O_h, symmetry (or nearly so). Consequently, one of the bending modes is forbidden in both the infrared and Raman spectra. In the solid state, many of the complexes crystallize in the cubic space group Fm3̅m, which preserves the octahedral symmetry. Even for those that are not cubic, the octahedral symmetry of the [MHal₆]^n- ion is largely retained and
