TiF2: Linear or bent?

Wilson, Antony V.; Roberts, Alexander J.; Young, Nigel A.

Abstract

Calling nonlinearity into question: When Ti atoms are isolated in fluorine-doped argon matrices, TiF 4 , TiF 3 , TiF 2 , and TiF are identified by their IR spectra. The Ti isotope pattern observed for the ν 3 mode of TiF 2 is indistinguishable from that of a linear geometry. Therefore, there is now no reliable evidence for the nonlinearity of any 3d transition-metal difluorides or dichlorides. (Chemical Equation Presented) © 2008 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
