Department of Chemistry, Nagoya University, Chikusa, Nagoya, Japan Received December 28, 1971 The nuclear quadrupole resonance of chlorine in sodium tetrachloroiodate(II1) dihydrate was observed between 77 and 365°K. Four resonance lines were observed indicating the presence of four kinds of crystalIographically nonequivalent chlorine atoms in the crystals. Unlike other resonance lines, the lowest-frequency line shows a positive temperature coefficient of resonance frequency. X-Ray powder patterns indicate the isomorphism of this complex with sodium tetrachloroaurate(II1) dihydrate. With the aid of X-ray crystal analysis of the latter compound, it is concluded that the resonance line showing the positive temperature coefficient is attributable to chlorine atoms involved in hydrogen bonding. INTRODUCTION
We have studied the pure quadrupole resonance of halogens in various tetrahaloaurates(III), and found that the lowest-frequency resonance line of a quartet observed for sodium tetrachloroaurate(II1) dihydrate and tetrabromoaurate(II1) dihydrate shows a positive temperature coefficient (I, 2). This anomaly could be interpreted with the aid of X-ray crystal analysis as having its origin in hydrogen bond formation involving halogen atoms. For sodium tetrachloroaurate(II1) dihydrate, Fryer and Smith also investigated the pure quadrupole resonance of chlorine and reached a similar conclusion (3). The crystal structure of sodium tetrachloroiodate(II1) dihydrate has not yet been etermined, but tetrachloroiodate(II1) ions have been known to have a square configuration in potassium tetrachloroiodate(II1) (4) as do tetrachloroaurate(II1) ions in sodium tetrachloroaurate(II1) dihydrate. Cornwell and Yamasaki reported that sodium tetrachloroiodate(II1) dihydrate yielded four NQR frequencies at room, dryice, and liquid-nitrogen temperatures (5). The data tabulated in their paper indicate that the lowest-frequency line shows a positive temperature coefficient unless some phase transitions take place. However, the authors failed to discuss the temperature dependence of resonance frequencies. Therefore, we have investigated the temperature dependence of quadrupole resonance frequencies in order to discuss the temperature coefficient in relation to hydrogen bonds. EXPERIMENTAL

and 365°K. Resonance frequencies were measured by means of a Model JR-5178 frequency counter from Takeda Riken Company. The temperature was determined by means of a chromel-alumel thermocouple calibrated at standard temperatures” The observed temperatures were accurate within &l”K. The sample was prepared in accordance with the method described in the literature (5). RESULTS
Table 1 gives the resonance frequencies at room, dry-ice, and liquid-nitrogen temperatures. At liquid-nitrogen temperature, the highest and the second highest resonance frequencies are slightly higher (ea. 100 and 50 kWz, respectively) than those reported by Cornwell and Yamasaki (5). Other frequencies listed in Table 1 agree very well with those reported by the authors. TABLE

At low temperature, the four resonance lines were fairly broad, the lowest-frequency line being broader than other multiplet components. With increasing temperature, they became sharper. Above room temperature, the quartet lines were fairly sharp and their intensity decreased with increasing temperature until they disappeared in the noise level at about 361°K. DISCUSSION
Figure 1 shows the temperature dependence of quadrupole resonance frequencies The curves are smooth indicating that no phase transitions take place in the temperature range investigated. A marked feature of the temperature dependence is that the lowestfrequency line of the quartet shows a positive temperature coefficient, whereas other lines have normal negative temperature coefficients in the whole range of temperature investigated. Moreover, the resonance frequency of the lowest-frequency line is much lower than those of other lines especially at liquid-nitrogen temperature. The characteristic resonance pattern bears a strong resemblance to that of sodium tetrachloroaurate(II1) dihydrate already reported (2). This suggests that the complex is isomorphous with sodium tetrachIoroaurate(II1) dihydrate. Fortunately, the X-ray crystal analysis of the latter compound has been performed by Bonamico ef al. (7). Therefore, we have taken the X-ray powder patterns of the two complexes in order to

check the isomorphism by use of a Model D-3F X-ray diffractometer from Rigaku Denki Company equipped with a copper anticathode. A goniometer was calibrated with a standard sample of silicon.

determined with the aid of the diffraction patterns of sodium tetrachlor~aurate~~r~) dihydrate. The lattice constants evaluated are a = 13.51 A 0.06, b = 7.15 i 0.03: and c = 9.21 F 0.04 A. The diffraction data are given in Table 2. Because of the isomorphous relationship as confirmed above, it is highly likely that one of the four chlorine atoms in an ICI, ion is involved in weak hydrogen bonds with four water molecules as in the crystals of sodium tetrachloroaurate(II1) dihydrate (2) and is responsible for the positive temperature coefficient of a quadrupole resonance frequency. The infrared spectroscopy of water molecules in sodium tetrachloroiodate(II1) dihydrate also lends support to the existence of weak 0-H. * Cl hydrogen bonds in the crystals (8). REFERENCES SASANE, T.
