Raman scattering and X-ray powder diffraction studies of hydrate layered perovskites: dirubidium aquapentafluoromanganate(III) and dipotassium aquapentafluoroferrate(III)
The structural and vibrational properties of above mentioned crystals were determined using X-ray powder diffraction and Raman scattering experiments. At room temperature hydrate layered perovskites: Rb{sub 2}MnF{sub 5}{center_dot}H{sub 2}O and K{sub 2}FeF{sub 5}{center_dot}H{sub 2}O exhibit orthorhombic--Cmcm (D{sub 2h}{sup 17}) and monoclinic--C2/c (C{sub 2h}{sup 6}) symmetry. Their structure is built up of MnF{sub 6} or FeF{sub 5}{center_dot}H{sub 2}O octahedra forming trans-linked zig-zag chains or hydrogen bonded zig-zag chains along the major crystallographic direction [0 0 1], respectively. To confirm crystal structures and to describe lattice dynamics of these compounds the vibrational normal modes (in {gamma} point of first Brillouin zone) were calculated on the base of the group theory analysis and compared with the spectra obtained from Raman scattering experiments. A relatively good reliability was obtained for both X-ray powder diffraction and Raman scattering.
