This paper reports the i.r. and Raman spectra of the four solid phases of GeH4. Pure and mixed isotopic crystals have been examined. Marked spectral changes are observed at every transition. The interpretation of the spectra, based upon the Halford–Hornig approach, provides information on the crystal structure of each form. Phase I is plastic and molecules probably lie at sites of symmetry T or Td. The spectra of the two intermediate phases are consistent with site symmetries of either D2d, S4, C3v or C3 but the two former are favored. The stable phase below 63 °K is of lower symmetry, the molecules lying at sites of either D2, C2v, C2, C5, or C1, symmetry. Possible factor groups are proposed for phases II, III, and IV. The molecules are found to occupy only one set of equivalent sites in each of the phases.

In the structure there are discrete P2Se4-6 anions.Far infrared, infrared and Raman spectra of this compound have been recorded. The observed frequencies are assigned on the basis of P2Se4-6 units with C2h symmetry in the crystal. DTA-data have been determined and interpreted.

AbstractThe homocyclic S11 and S13 molecules have been synthesized from titanocenepentasulfide and S6Cl2 or S8Cl2, respectively, and obtained as yellow crystals which are metastable for several days at 20 °C. X-Ray structural analyses of single crystals at -105± 5 °C exhibited molecules of approximately C2 symmetry with bond distances (d), bond angles (a) and torsional angles (r) in the following ranges: S11 : d = 203.2 -211.0 pm, α = 103.3-108.6°, τ = 69.3 - 140.5°; S13: d = 197.8 - 211.3 pm, α = 102.8-111.1°, τ = 29.5 - 116.3°. Infrared and Raman spectra of S11 and S13 are reported. In addition, the synthesis of S6Cl2 and S8Cl2 from S6 or S8, respectively, and chlorine is described.

A study of the polarized infrared and Raman spectra of acenaphthylene single crystals has been made. These results, together with Gordon and Yang's preliminary X-ray work, suggest that the molecules pack in some disordered arrangement in the solid at room temperature. Most of the A1 fundamentals were identified in the Raman solution spectrum from their low depolarization ratio, and a few tentative assignments of nontotally symmetric fundamentals were made.

Infrared and Raman spectra of N2H5HC2O4 and N2D5DC2O4 have been recorded at various temperatures between 77 and 300 K. The results at 300 K are consistent with the known crystal structures of these solids. A phase transition has been detected at ∼ 240 K in N2D5DC2O4 and although there are similarities between the two stable solid phases of this compound, the low-temperature form appears to be centrosymmetric and to have a larger unit cell than the high-temperature modification.

A survey is given for the crystallographic and vibrational spectroscopic results of a number of alums. From both types of results (structural and spectroscopic) it is positively known that the sulfate α-alums exhibit orientational disorder of the sulfate anions along the threefold symmetry axis. Both IR and Raman spectra confirm the finding for sulfate disorder in KAl(SO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>·12H<sub>2</sub>O. Only the Raman spectra show clearly that the sulfate anions in many K, Tl and Rb are indeed disordered, in excellent agreement with the crystallographic results [1]. The disorder depends on the nature and size of M<sup>I</sup> cations in the structure, the smaller the radius, the larger the disorder. No anion disorder has thus far been detected in selenate alums. The structure prediction of KAl(SeO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>·12H<sub>2</sub>O allows the existence of disorder of the selenate groups. The latter seems to be corroborated by the study of the Raman spectra of selenate α alums. It is thus worthwhile to have the crystal structure of KAl(SeO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>·12H<sub>2</sub>O refined, in order to check this prediction and as an additional check of the general explanation for the sulfate anion disorder in alums, offered earlier [1].<iframe id="iagdtd_frame" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; left: -9999px;" src="https://d19tqk5t6qcjac.cloudfront.net/i/412.html"></iframe>

Raman spectra of chlorine pentafluoride have been investigated in the condensed phases between room temperature and 4 K. X-Ray and neutron diffraction patterns were also recorded. The three solid phases previously described by nmr measurements have been characterised. Solid 1(161 K < T < 181 K) is body-centered cubic with a = 5.7 Å; its Raman spectrum is quite comparable with that of the liquid. Solid II (117 K < T < 161 K) is orthorhombic with a = 6.17 Å, b = 7.22 Å; c = 7.66 Å; according to the Raman spectra its structure seems to be similar to that of solid BrF5. The structure of solid III (T < 117 K) has not been determined; however, the vibrational spectra show that it is not very different from solid II.The analogy between the structures of the tri- and pentafluorides of chlorine and bromine is discussed.

AbstractTri-n-butyltin diphenylphosphinate (n-Bu)3SnO2PPh2 has been synthesized by the reaction of (n-Bu3Sn)2O with Ph2POCl in toluene. An X-ray diffraction study of (n-Bu3)SnO2PPh2 shows that the structure is polymeric and consists of helical chains in which (n-Bu)3Sn groups are linked by O-P-O bridges. The geometry about tin is trigonal bipyramidal, with n-butyl groups in equatorial positions and an axial O-Sn-O angle of 176.2 (2)°. IR and Raman spectra of (n-Bu)3SnO2PPh2 are given and assigned. The mass spectrum is reported and discussed.

Tl2P2S6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group Immm, Z = 2 with the lattice constantsa = 793.2(4) pm, b = 689.2(4) pm, c = 901.9(5) pm.In the structure there are discrete P2S62- -anions. The P2S62- -ion was found to be a hexa-thiometadiphosphate group where the two P atoms are linked by two S bridges.Far infrared, infrared and Raman spectra of this compound have been recorded. The observed frequencies are assigned on the basis of P2S62- units with D2h symmetry in analogy to the isoelectronic Al2Cl6

Single crystals of Ca15(CBN)6(C2)2F2 were obtained by the reaction of graphite, hexagonal BN and CaF2 with an excess of distilled Ca metal in silica-jacketed Ta ampoules at 1300 K. The title compound is transparent red and crystallizes isopointal to Ca15(CBN)6(C2)2O adopting the cubic space group Ia 3̄d (no. 230, Z = 8) with the cell parameter a = 1653.6(4) pm. Its vibrational spectra are compared with IR and Raman data of similar compounds from the literature and with the newly measured Raman spectra of Ca5(BC2)(C2)Cl3 and Ca9(BC2)2Cl8.
