    Abstract

    The versatile NO2 - ligand is a chelating, bidentate ligand in the high symmetry M2M′Eu(NO2)6 (M = Cs, Rb; M′ = Na, Li) systems. The investigation of the vibronic structure and energy levels of these systems is of interest for comparison with the abundant data from Cs2NaEuX6 (X = F, Cl) crystals. The vibrational structure in the electronic emission spectra of the hexanitritolanthanates has been investigated from the analysis of the 10 K and 100 K spectra. Most of the vibronic intensity of the 5D07F0, 7F2 transitions is due to low energy skeletal modes which correlate with τu (T h) infrared vibrations. The energy levels derived from the vibronic analysis indicate a weak crystal field in these systems. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
