Temperature dependences of polarization and kinetic characteristics of luminescence are investigated for Pb 2+ ions perturbed by a (nnn) cation vacancy and an interstitial chlorine atom (H   z [001] (Pb 2+ ) centres) in a KCl:PbCl 2 crystal. At T > 110 K the reorientation of these centres in the triplet excited state of the Pb 2+ ion stimulated by polarized UV radiation becomes evident in the polarization spectra and decay kinetics of the A T emission. It results neither in the depolarization of the emission nor in the „alignment” of the centres. Most probably the effect can be explained by a strong covalent interaction between the excited Pb 2+ ion and an interstitial, and it is caused by the dissociation of the two‐component defect near the Pb 2+ ion and the following jump of the interstitial chlorine atom into one of the 〈100〉 directions perpendicular to the {Pb 2+ ‐v   c − } axis.
