Abstract

A systematic understanding of the v3 fundamental rovibronic structure of transition metal hexafluorides in general and WF6 and ReF6 in particular is discussed. The high resolution Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) and diode laser spectra obtained and analyzed confirm the theoretical expectation of completely different spectral structure of two prototypes for a closed shell hexafluoride molecule. The rovibrational spectra of the v3 stretching fundamental of WF6 show a simple structure under conditions of supersonic jet cooling, allowing for a straightforward analysis.
