Abstract
Fundamental infrared absorption bands of NOCl and NOBr solids at liquid‐nitrogen temperature exhibit remarkable frequency shifts compared to the gas‐phase spectra. Peak frequencies, band shapes, and band multiplicities of the solid spectra are strongly influenced by the nature of the solid matrix. Studies of the reactions of nitric oxide with chlorine and with bromine in the solid state suggest that the observed band multiplicities may be due to the formation of molecular complexes between the nitrosyl halide and the halogen.
