Molecular and ionic phases of solid nitrosyl chloride at low temperature
Abstract
The discovery of two solid phases of nitrosyl chloride is reported. ONCl-II is stable in the range 85-203 K and is composed of dimers of the ONCl molecule. The absence of the NO stretch in this phase from 136 to 203 K is caused by dephasing due to thermal occupation of a torsional mode of the dimer, which appears at 117 cm{sup {minus}1} and is not observed over the same temperature range. Within the molecular phase, dramatic softening of both the N-Cl stretch and ONCl bend occurs as temperature is reduced. ONCl-I is stable over the range 13-85 K and represents an ionic phase of ONCl with at least 2 NO{sup +}Cl{sup {minus}}/primitive unit. The transition from ONCl-II to ONCl-I is first order with substantial hysteresis and is accompanied by the coalescence of intra- and intermolecular N-Cl modes.
