description

Abstract The absorption spectra of the near-infrared and ultraviolet bands of ReF6 have been recorded with a commercial spectrophotometer. The vibronic assignments previously published by different authors are critically revised. A non-perturbative method has been used to calculate the linear Jahn–Teller levels for the ν5 mode in the ground electronic state. Some new vibronic parameter values are derived. The ν5 linear Jahn–Teller parameter in the X G′ g electronic state is found to be D5=0.103(9). The ultraviolet absorption spectrum has enabled us to determine relatively accurate values of the crystal-field (10Dq) and spin-orbit (ζd) parameters.
