A study of samarium di-iodide by high-temperature gaseous electron diffraction

Molecular Structure of Metal Halides

“…There have been a few spectroscopic studies of such molecules. The difluorides and dichlorides of Sm, Eu, and Yb and UCl 2 were found to be bent. , The ED study of SmI 2 (at about 1100 K) resulted in the following parameters: r g = 3.004(6) Å and ∠ = 127(2)° …”
