On the vibrational assignment and bond angles in chromyl fluoride
Abstract
Gas-phase Raman and matrix i.r. spectra are reported for CrO2F2. An unambiguous vibrational assignment has been made for the stretching modes, and the bond angles estimated as O–Cr–O 102.5 and F–Cr–F 124°. The differences in structural patterns between transition-metal and main-group oxyhalides are emphasized and discussed.
