Abstract

HCl complexes with UF6, WF6, and MoF6 were prepared in solid argon at 12 K. The FT1R spectrum of UF6/HC1 contained a doublet at 2850.6 and 2849.7 cm−1 due to the hydrogen-bonded UF6-HCl complex. In contrast, the HCl interaction with WF6, as well as MoF6 produced two distinctly different 1:1 complexes. The 2862.1-cm−1 absorption due to the antihydrogen-bonded complex, WF6–ClH, was slightly more intense than the 2866.2-crrT−1 absorption of the hydrogen-bonded complex, WF6–HCl. The frequencies and relative intensities of the absorptions for the MoF6 complexes with HCl were very similar to those of their WF6 counterparts.
