VIBRATIONAL SPECTRA AND NORMAL COORDINATE ANALYSIS OF DIMERS IODINE TRICHLORIDE AND GOLD TRICHLORIDE

Author Institution: Mellon Institute, Pittsburgh; Mellon Institute, Institute of Aeronautical Technology; Department of Chemistry, University of PittsburghThe infrared and Raman spectra of $I_{2}Cl_{6}$ and $Au_{2}Cl_{6}$ were measured. The spectra were interpreted and the observed frequencies assigned to the normal modes of vibration. Calculated force constants are consistent with the proposed interpretation
