Mossbauer spectroscopy experimental arrangements

Experimentally, the structures are determined by the use of various physical methods such as vibrational spectroscopy, both in the Raman and IR, NMR, or diffraction methods. Other accepted physical measurements, such as conductivity, cryoscopy, magnetic properties, electronic spectra in the UV and visible ranges, nuclear quadmpole resonance (NQR), and Mossbauer spectroscopy have also been applied. Table 3 summarizes various geometric structures found in halogen compounds, coordination numbers, bonding and nonbonding electronic arrangements, and symmetries.
