| From theoretical considerations a dynamically distorted octahedron as a result of vibronic coupling between the ground state and the first excited state should exist for 14 electron AX6E systems like TeX62-. A high symmetry crystal field yielding at least a center of symmetry for the Te position stabilizes this fluctuating structure, otherwise statical distortion will be observed. From X-ray diffraction experiments on antifluorite type compounds A 2TeX6 (A = Rb, Cs; X = Cl, Br) the averaged structure (m 3m symmetry) of the anions was found even at very low temperatures. The thermal parameters are not significantly different from those of similar S n X ^ -compounds. Distortions therefore are very small and are evident from FTIR spectroscopic meas urements only. Here very broad T lu-deformation vibration bands are observed down to tempera tures <10 K without splitting: A statically distorted species could not be frozen out. In contrast to XeF6 for TeX62~ the energy gap between the threefold, fourfold or sixfold minima of the potential surface (according to the symmetry of one component of the T ,u-vibration) is very small and shifted to temperatures lower than reached with the devices used for these experiments. | | |
