| Popis: | When a mixture of chloride or sulfate salts of cesium and dysprosium in a 3:1 mole ratio was treated with fluorine gas at 10‐60 psig and 200°‐350°C, the white Dy(III) starting material was converted to an orange compound with an empirical formula approaching Cs3DyF7. Fluorescence and infrared absorption spectra of fluorocarbon mulls of the orange fluorination product, measured at liquid nitrogen temperature, were compared with experimental and literature values of the energy levels for the 4f8Tb (III) and the 4f9Dy (III). All of the components of the 7F ground‐state multiplet for the 4f8Dy (IV) were identified as was the 5D4 resonance fluorescence level. The 4f energy levels of Dy(IV) were higher than those of the isoelectronic Tb(III) as would be expected from the less effective screening of the nuclear charge. Using the free‐ion approximation, the 4fn energy levels were calculated by diagonalization of the energy matrices with the adjustment of two parameters, the coulomb integral F2 and the spin‐orbit ... |
