The infrared (i.r.) spectra of thin polycrystalline samples of orthorhombic sulfur at 95 °K in the range 50–500 cm−1 have been recorded. The three i.r. active fundamentals ν4, ν5, and ν6 are observed to be split into 2,3, and 3 components, respectively, as predicted from a group theoretical analysis of the unit cell symmetry, thus confirming the assignment of ν4 and ν6. Several weaker absorptions are assigned by comparison with recent Raman results and a normal coordinate analysis. No peaks assignable to lattice vibrations are observed.

We present here a group theoretical analysis of the lattice vibrations of the ε and γ polytypes of GaSe for different directions of the wave vector in the Brillouin zone. The effect of the interlayer interactions and the assignment of the modes observed in Raman scattering is discussed.

The infrared-active lattice vibrations of the orthorombic marcasite (FeS2) have been studied by measuring the reflectivity of different crystal faces at near-normal incidence. A group-theoretical analysis predicts seven infrared-active modes (k = 0). Cartesian symmetry coordinates as well as vibrational modes of the lattice vibrations are constructed

Abstract The 1 : 1 adduct compounds which are the prevailing vapour species over equimolar mixtures of AlkF and AlF3 (Alk = Li, Na, K, Rb and Cs) in the temperature range 450-750°C have been isolated in argon and nitrogen matrices and examined bv infrared spectroscopy. Seven frequencies which are assigned to matrix isolated alkali tetrafluoroaluminate molecules have been found for all systems investigated. Group theoretical analysis and subsequent normal coordinate computations of the reassigned frequencies confirm a structural model for the AlkAlF4 molecules having the symmetry C2v-However, the results from this analysis cannot be taken as a definite confirmation of a true bidentate structure for these molecules in the vapour phase. The alkali metal-fluorine bond is found to be rather weak, and the Al-F terminal bond is found to be stronger than the Al-F bridge bond. Qualitative relations between matrix as well as vibrational shifts and potential energy distribution are discussed.
