Abstract
The Γ8, Γ7(2T2g, t3 2g,)→Γ8(4A2g, t3 2g) luminescence spectra and decay curves for the ReBr2– 6 ion in Rb2SnBr6, Cs2SnBr6, K2SnCl6 and K2PtCl6 have been measured over the temperature range 5–300 K with a range of excitation wavelengths. A scheme for the observed complex relaxation processes is proposed. For the two bromide lattices the vibronic spectra show that the internal vibrational modes of the ReBr2– 6 ion are strongly coupled to the corresponding internal modes of the SnBr2– 6 ion. This cannot occur in the chloride lattices but in this case the ν6 and ν4 ReBr2– 6 modes couple to the transverse and longitudinal optic modes of the lattice.
