title: Raman Study of Aluminum Chloride-Dimethylsulfone Solutions.
abstract: The Raman spectra of AlCl(3)-LiCl-dimethylsulfone mixtures with different molar compositions have been recorded as a solid (300 K) and as a melt (400 K). In any case, only AlCl(4)(-) ion lines at 120, 179, and 347 cm(-)(1) were observed; we were unable to detect any other chloroaluminate species. Furthermore, some bands assigned to the Al[(CH(3))(2)SO(2)](3)(3+) octahedral coordination compound are evidence for a high AlCl(3) content.
