Differences in Optical Properties between Tungsten Tetrabromide and Tungsten Tetraiodide

Tungsten tetrabromide and tungsten tetraiodide are compounds containing the metal tungsten and halogens (bromine and iodine) that have some notable differences in their optical properties.

First, both tungsten tetrabromide and tungsten tetraiodide exhibit high absorption in the optical range. Due to their molecular structure and arrangement of electronic energy levels, they are able to absorb light in a specific wavelength range, thereby causing electronic transitions. This absorptivity makes them potentially useful in optical devices, such as absorbers or filter materials.

In terms of color, tungsten tetrabromide and tungsten tetraiodide exhibit different shades. Due to their absorbing properties, tungsten tetrabromide may appear lighter yellow to orange, while tungsten tetraiodide may appear darker brown to purple. These color characteristics can be confirmed in the laboratory by observing their solutions or solid samples.

In addition, they also differ in the transmittance of light. Due to the intermolecular interaction and energy band structure, the transmittance of tungsten tetrabromide may be relatively high, which makes it have certain application potential in some transparent materials. The transmission of tungsten tetraiodide may be lower, which may be limited in some optical applications.
