Experimental studies of the thermally activated reorientation of I   2 −in RbI: AgI single crystals are carried out by measuring the decay of the optical anisotropy of preferentially oriented I   2 −at fixed temperatures. These studies show that in the temperature range investigated, contrary to previous results by others, thermally induced changes in orientation of I   2 −in RbI result almost totally from elementary jumps in which the orientation of the I   2 −molecule ion changes by 60°. The activation energy for this 60° jump is determined to be (0.306 ± 0.005) eV.
