The Jahn-Teller effect in the lowest charge transfer state of UF/sub 6/. Technical report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6579182

The neat and mixed crystal emission spectra of UF/sub 6/ are analyzed. The data are interpreted as being indicative of a substantial molecular Jahn-Teller interaction in the excited charge transfer state. By use of a modified Franck-Condon analysis for a 3-dimensional vibrational space, it is found that D(5) is approx. 2.02 and that the excited state is distorted along each of three v5 coordinates by roughly 0.09 A.
