Matrix isolation infrared and mass spectrometric studies of the vapors formed by the thermal decomposition of Te6O11Cl2

Abstract
The gaseous products of the thermal decomposition of Te6O11Cl2 (s) were studied by mass spectrometry and matrix isolation infrared spectroscopy. The temperature range investigated was 340 to 900 °C. The majority vapor species was found to be TeOCl2 together with minor amounts of TeCl4, TeCl2, and Cl2. The frequencies of the normal modes of vibration of TeOCl2 were measured and a normal coordinate analysis performed. The standard thermodynamic functions of TeOCl2(g) were also calculated.
