Abstract

The Raman spectrum of mercury(II) iodide was observed in cesium nitrate at 430°C and in meta- and para-terphenyl at 235 and 240°C, respectively. A single strong polarized line was found at 148.5 cm-1 width at half height 15 cm -1 in cesium nitrate, and a single line at 154.0 cm-1, width at half height 7 cm -1 in the terphenyls. The observed spectra are not consistent with interactions of the solute and the solvents involving bonds of highly covalent character, but do not exclude other Interactions.
