STRUCTURAL, VIBRATIONAL, AND ENERGETIC CHARACTERISTICS OF GALLIUM AND INDIUM HALIDE MOLECULES

This article concludes our reports on a series of studies of Group IIIA halide elements. Data are systematized on the geometric parameters of molecules of indium and gallium halides and indium iodides of the MX3, MMX4, and M2X6 types, along with data on their vibration frequencies and bond rupture energies. Correlations have been established between the internuclear distances and valence force constants, and also between the internuclear distances and the mean bond rupture energies in these molecules.
