title: Characteristic metal-halogen vibrational frequencies of complexes with bivalent metal halides.
abstract: Studies of the metal-halogen vibrational frequencies of complexes have been numerous and it is apparent that such frequencies are often characteristic of the structure and stoichiometry. The method, although generally applicable, is most valuable where neither ultraviolet spectra nor magnetic moments can be of assistance. The current literature is reviewed with the intention of facilitating the characterization of unknown materials derived from bivalent metal halides.
