“…H20 with M = Sr, Ba, and X = CI, Br and I (Lutz & Christian, 1982). From these experiments it was revealed that the two H-atom positions in the structures of these isostructural compounds (BaCI2.H20 type) (Lutz, Kliippel & Kho, 1971;Lutz, Kliippel, Marner & Kesterke, 1973;Engelen, Freiburg & Lutz, 1983) are energetically equivalent in the case of the iodides, i.e. the site symmetry of the water molecules is ram2 (C2v), but different for the bromides and chlorides.…”
