Evidence is presented for absorptions in halide molecules and halide solutions analogous to color center absorptions in crystals. With similar observations by Hersh, several color center absorptions appear not to be unique to the solid state. Color center absorptions in any one crystal may be correlated in a manner similar to energy level correlations in molecules. Some comments are made on the F absorption band in view of these results.
