Popis: Fluid and solid-state e.s.r. spectra for the title radicals formed from molecular chlorine and antimony pentachloride are described and approximate orbital populations derived therefrom. The novel radical Cl4+, only detected at 77 K, is throught to be planar, being formed from Cl2+ and Cl2 by a weak π*–π* interaction. Structural considerations suggest the assignment: gx= 2.00 gy= 2.031, gz= 2.125 and Ax(35Cl)= 48G, Ay= O ± 4 G, and Az= 0 ± 4 G, where x is the principal direction of the combined π* orbital, z is the direction of the original σ bonds, and y is normal to the plane.
