✦ Synopsis

Emission spectra from dilute gas mixtures of Na with Fa and Clr have been measured and identified as originating from electronically excited NaFz and NaCIz emitting to stable ground staies of these molecules. This is the first observation of molecules of this type which were predicted to be stable theoretically in the case of LiF2. The existence of these molecules indicates an attractive exit channel in M + X2 4 MX + X reactions of alkali atoms with halogens.
