Title: Study of rare-earth fluoride oxalate tetrahydrates by IR spectroscopy

OSTI ID:6158726

The IR spectra of ..cap alpha..-LnC/sub 2/O/sub 4/F x 4H/sub 2/O (Ln = Tb, Dy, Ho, Y) and ..beta..-LnC/sub 2/O/sub 4/F x 4H/sub 2/O (Ln = Tb-Lu, Y) and their deuteration products have been studied. The structural features of these fluoride oxalate tetrahydrates have been discussed on the basis of a comparison of data from IR and PMR spectroscopy and a complex thermal analysis. It has been shown that the ..cap alpha.. and ..beta.. modifications differ with respect to the coordination of the water molecules. In ..beta..-LnC/sub 2/O/sub 4/F x 4H/sub 2/O two H/sub 2/O molecules are coordinated by the metal, and the remaining water participates in the creation of a system of strong hydrogen bonds. In ..cap alpha..-LnC/sub 2/O/sub 4/F x 4H/sub 2/O the character of the coordination of the H/sub 2/O molecules is more complicated, at least three different types of water molecules can be identified, and more than two water molecules are probably coordinated by the metal. The type of coordination of the oxalato groups in the compounds has been discussed.
