The infrared absorption of KH2F3 and KD2F3in the solid state was measured between 4 000 and 200 cm−1 The observed bands can be assigned to the stretching and bending modes of the bent H2F3− ion. A normal coordinate analysis was carried out to determine the Urey–Bradley force constants. The results suggest that the hydrogen atoms are not exactly halfway between two fluorine atoms, contrary to the case of the HF2− ion.Les spectres infrarouges de KH2F3 et KD2F3 à l'état solide ont été mesurés entre 4 000 et 200 cm−1 afin d'identifier les vibrations fondamentales de l'anion H2F3−. Les constantes de forces de rappel selon le modèle de Urey–Bradley ont pu être déterminées par analyse des coordonnées normales. Les résultats indiquent que les atomes d'hydrogène ne sont pas exactement à mi-chemin entre deux atomes de fluor, contrairement au cas de l'ion HF2−.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
