Raman investigations of indium iodide complexes : evidence for the In2I7- ion

• Raman spectra of some indium iodide complexes were studied, including alpha- and beta-InI3 and In2I4. InI3 with KI yields K+InI4-. With CsI the spectra reveal, in addition to Cs+InI4-, the complex anion In2I7- in the solid phase CsI:2InI(3), This structure consists of InI3 groups with a linking In-I-in bridge which appears to be linear. The vibrational spectra were calculated for the dimeric In2I6 molecule at the HF, B3LYP and MP2 levels, but the structure turned out to be unstable when such calculations were attempted for In2I7-.
