Abstract
Raman spectra are reported for gaseous BiBr<sub>3</sub> and PbCl<sub>2</sub> at temperatures just above their boiling points. The strong resonance fluorescence due to subhalide species that is normally observed in these vapors (with 4880 Å excitation) was suppressed by addition of equimolar amounts of the corresponding mercuric halide. The observed Raman bands for the BiBr<sub>3</sub>-HgBr<sub>2</sub> sample, which are attributable to BiBr<sub>3</sub>, confirm a pyramidal structure having C<sub>3v</sub> point symmetry. The spectrum attributable to PbCl<sub>2</sub> in the case of the PbCl<sub>2</sub>-HgCl<sub>2</sub> sample is consistent with a symmetric bent structure.
