A. Stangassinger et al., CHARACTERIZATION OF TL RARE-GAS COMPLEXES AND COMPARISON WITH OTHER GROUP 3A METAL-COMPLEXES, Chemical physics, 178(1-3), 1993, pp. 533-546
The TlAr, TlKr, and TlXe complexes have been produced by sputtering of
a Tl electrode, and detected in a supersonic jet expansion by laser e
xcitation spectroscopy. Analysis of the B-2 Sigma(+) <-- X(2)II(1/2) a
nd B-2 Sigma(t) <-- X(2)II(3/2) transitions yields information about t
he vibrational potential and binding energies of the complexes. Their
molecular constants are reported and the results are compared with oth
er group 3A metals. Comparisons and trends within the group are discus
sed.
