The 35 C1 NQR frequencies in MgTeCl 6 • 6 H 2 0, NiTeCl 6 • 6 H 2 0, and NiIrCl 6 • 6 H 2 0 have been determined at various temperatures. These compounds form rhombohedral crystals with the space group R3, showing a single resonance line. The 35 C1 NQR frequencies of the Te(IV) complexes exhibit an unusual positive temperature coefficient. The deuterated analogs of the Te(IV) complexes show a small frequency shift at 77 K. These results are interpreted by the presene of O-H • • • CI type weak H-bonds. The resonance frequency of the Ir(IV) complex versus temperature curve shows a minimum and a maximum. This unusual temperature dependence is mainly explained by the same type of the H-bond as existing in the Te(IV) complexes. The 7r-bond formation between Ir and CI atoms is also partly responsible for the unusual temperature dependence.
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.
