HCl complexes with UF[sub 6], WF[sub 6], and MoF[sub 6] were prepared in solid argon at 12 K. The FTIR spectrum of UF[sub 6]/HCl contained a doublet at 2850.6 and 2849.7 cm[sup [minus]1] due to the hydrogen-bonded UF[sub 6]-HCl complex. In contrast, the HCl interaction with WF[sub 6], as well as MoF[sub 6] produced two distinctly different 1:1 complexes. The 2862.1-cm[sup [minus]1] absorption due to the antihydrogen-bonded complex, WF[sub 6]-ClH, was slightly more intense than the 2866.2 cm[sup [minus]1] absorption due to the antihydrogen-bonded complex, WF[sub 6]-ClH, was slightly more intense than the 2866.2-cm[sup [minus]1] absorption of the hydrogen-bonded complex, WF[sub 6]-HCl. The frequencies and relative intensities of the absorptions for the MoF[sub 6] complexes with HCl were very similar to those of their WF[sub 6] counterparts.
