G. Bator et al., INFRARED STUDIES ON THE STRUCTURAL PHASE-TRANSITIONS IN (N-C3H7NH3)(2)SBBR5 AND (N-C3H7NH3)(3)SB2CL9, Polish Journal of Chemistry, 72(2), 1998, pp. 314-324
Internal vibration modes of(n-(C3HNH3)-N-7)(2)SbBr5 and (n-C3H7NH3)(3)
Sb2Cl9 were studied through their phase transitions using the infrared
spectroscopy. The studies show that the vibrational states of the n-p
ropylammonium cati6nS change considerably during the phase transitions
. The V(CC), V(CN) and V-s(NH) bands are very sensitive to the phase t
ransition at 154 K in (n-C3H7NH3)(2)SbBr5, and at 232 K in (n-C3H7NH3)
(3)Sb2Cl9. IR spectra point out the key role of the n-propylammonium c
ations in the phase transition mechanism of both crystals.
