Phenomenological and physical aspects of the intrinsic tail spectra of the alkalihalides are studied referring to the new results on the intrinsic tail spectra of KBr and KI and to the temperature dependences of the lowest-energy Γ-exciton peak of the sodium- and potassium-halides. Systematically analysing the temperature dependence of the steepness parameter σs (T) of the Urbach rule for these halides, it is found that the frequency factor has the value nearly equal to the acoustic phonon energy at X or L of each host lattice and the steepness constant σs0 becomes larger in passing from fluoride to iodide. This halogen dependence of σs0 is discussed in terms of the hole band-mass of the Γ8-level.

The data so far published on the diamagnetic susceptibilities of the alkaline halides, measured for the salts in the crystalline state, are very discordant and incomplete, as reference to Table I will show. The aim in carrying out these experiments has been twofold: firstly, to obtain a complete set of values for these salts and secondly to examine more closely than has hitherto been possible how rigorously the susceptibilities of simple crystalline salts are additive. It has already been established that the susceptibilities are approximately additive, but it has not been possible to test this with exactitude because of ( a ) the large discrepancies between the results obtained by previous observers, and ( b ) the lack of data for many crystals. The discrepancies may have arisen to some extent from the different experimental methods, some of which are more accurate than others and some of which may introduce errors peculiar to themselves. We have therefore made a complete re-determination of the susceptibilities of all the alkaline halides, using the same apparatus and method under the same conditions. Since any systematic experi-mental errors will affect all our results to approximately the same extent, we shall be in a stronger position for testing the additivity of the susceptibilities than if we rely partly on our own and partly on other observers’ results. Previous investigators have measured the susceptibilities of some compounds in the crystalline state and others in solution; the latter are of no help in connexion with our problem, for an examination of the available data suggests that solutions have susceptibilities higher by several per cent, than the corresponding crystals. We cannot, therefore, arrive at any certain conclusion by using results obtained partly for crystals and partly for solutions. 2—Method The method previously described has been used to obtain a complete set of values for the susceptibilities of the alkaline halides. Although slight modifications have been made from time to time, the apparatus has remained, in essentials, the same as when used for the measurement of the susceptibilities of the sodium and potassium halides.

Not only ditopic complexation, but also selectivity has been realized by increasing the Lewis acidity of tin atom in organotin-functionalized crown ethers.

The infrared spectra of the solid metal formates HCO2Li, HCO2Li,H2O, HCO2Na, DCO2Na, H13CO2Na, HCO2K, DCO2K, HCO2Rb, DCO2Rb, HCO2Cs, DCO2Cs, (HCO2)2Ca, (HCO2)2Sr, (HCO2)2Ba and (HCO2)2Pb have been measured in the pressure range 0-42 kbar at 25�C. For the sodium salt two new modifications formed at high pressure have been observed, but the potassium, rubidium and caesium salts show only one phase transition. A phase change, though only at pressures far above 42 kbar, is indicated also for the calcium, the barium and probably the anhydrous lithium salt. The various spectral responses to changes in pressure strongly indicate that in the form prevailing at ordinary pressure and temperature, phase I, the formates of sodium and potassium have the same type of molecular packing in the crystal structure. Phases II of the sodium and potassium salt appear to belong to a new modification (?C?), whereas phase III of the sodium and phase II of the caesium salt belong to the modification ?B? previously observed in disc spectra. In a given phase, the effect of pressure on the formate vibration frequencies is sometimes quite different for the pure crystalline salt in bulk and for the same species when isolated by isotopic dilution. In these cases the main effect of pressure is that on the intermolecular coupling of vibrations. Several frequency changes accompanying phase transitions, by contrast, are essentially unchanged on isotopic dilution and arise mainly from changes in the effective intramolecular force constants.

The infrared spectra of lithium isocyanide and of sodium and potassium cyanides in the solid phase were examined over the range 4000 to 140 cm−1 at room temperature. A study of the effect of cooling the solids to liquid nitrogen temperature has been carried out.
