Abstract

AbstractA detailed temperature‐dependent Raman study of oriented single crystals of CdTiF6·6H2O down to 10 K was carried out in the regions of internal vibrations and lattice modes. The line width, frequency shift and intensities of the modes associated with the [Cd(H2O)6]2+ and [TiF6]2− octahedra show abrupt changes at temperatures around 200 and 80 K, respectively, and many doubly degenerate modes split into two components. These studies suggest that this system undergoes two structural phase transitions at 200 and 80 K. A mechanism for these phase transitions is suggested.
