TiF2:Linear or Bent?

摘要

The shapes and geometries of the molecular transition-metal halides have interested and intrigued experimental and computational chemists for a long time.The majority of such halides are high-temperature vapor-phase species,which makes them challenging to study by structural and spectroscopic techniques.They are also a challenge to theoretical/ computational chemists.The vapor composition is often complex,and spectral interpretation and assignment are not always straightforward.
