Abstract

The Raman and FTIR spectra of [C(NH2)3]2M(SO4)2×6H2O (withM= Co, Fe, Ni) were recorded and analysed. The observed spectral bandsare assigned in terms of vibrations of guanidinium ions, sulphate groups and water molecules. The analysis shows that the sulphate tetrahedraare distorted from their free state symmetry Td to C1. This is attributed to the presence of hydrogen bonds from water molecules. The order ofdistortion of the metal oxygen octahedra influenced the distortion of the sulphate tetrahedra. The appearance of v1-v3 modes of water moleculesabove 3300 cm-1 indicates the presence of weak hydrogen bonds.c 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
