Raman spectroscopic and spectroelectrochemical studies in molten sodium chloroaluminates

Two Raman spectrometer systems have been assembled and are described in this work; a spectrograph designed for use with a photodiode array detector and a computer controlled double monochromator equipped with a photomultiplier. The suitability of the spectrometers for use in molten salt investigations is discussed.;Raman cells suitable for spectroscopic and spectroelectrochemical investigations in molten salts have been constructed and applied to several chemical systems.;Raman spectra of WCl;The ultraviolet Raman spectroelectrochemical behavior of chloranil in basic and acidic sodium chloroaluminates has been studied. Spectroscopic results indicate that, in acidic melts, chloranil exists as an adduct with the solvent (e. g. Al...
