Infrared Study of 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene Under High Pressure

Journal Article · · Physical Review B: Condensed Matter and Materials Physics
We report synchrotron Fourier transform infrared measurements of 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene in the mid-IR and far-IR spectral regions up to {approx}10GPa , using KBr or petroleum jelly to compress the samples. During the far-IR experiment, we cycled the pressure, measuring IR spectra at various pressures, to determine whether the sample survived. In both experiments, no phase transition was observed. In the high frequency region ({approx}3000cm{sup -1}) , the peak frequencies of the NH{sub 2} symmetric and antisymmetric vibrational modes decrease with increasing pressure, indicating strengthening of intermolecular hydrogen bonding with pressure.
