Abstract
The complexes of the types A(2)MX(4) and AMX(3) (where A = alkali meta ls; M = Be, Mg and 3d-transition metals; X = F and Cl) have tetragonal and distorted octahedral structures respectively, Varied distortion f rom regular octahedral geometry is due to the covalent bonding between A-X. The species [MX(6)](4-) acts as ligand where the donating sites are halogen atoms and forms complexes with alkali metals, The structur es have been substantiated by ir spectra and crystals structure data.
