Title: REVIEW OF ELECTRONIC ABSORPTION SPECTRA OF MOLTEN SALTS

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4667314· OSTI ID:4667314

The results of investigations of electronic absorption spectra of molten salts are reviewed with the primary aim of providing a guide to the literature for those doing experimental research. The period covered is 1916 through mid- 1982, with, however, most of the research concentrated on the period since 1956. Literature citations number 160 and include a large number of references to theoretical articles. The kinds of chromophores treated include transition-metal ions, lanthanide-metal ions, actinlde-metal ions, halide ions, oxy-anions, and solutions of metals and halogens in molten salts. Typical spectra are illustrated. The results of background theory necessary for interpretation of experimental results are given. (auth)
