Polycrystalline samples of dimeric cadmium tartrate, [(Cd,C4H4O6)2H2O)]3H2O [labeled CdT(I)], were studied using impedance measurements and x-ray powder diffraction. The dependence of the real part of the dielectric constant on temperature showed a sharp peak at about 65 °C, revealing a structural phase transition, while the other broad peak in the temperature range (70〈T〈85 °C) was due to the loss of water molecules. The x-ray powder diffraction patterns at three temperatures (25, 60, and 70 °C) are consistent with three nonequivalent space groups. According to these results, it seems that this compound undergoes two successive phase transitions: P212121→P21→Pnmn, suggesting an intermediate ferroelectric behavior, labeled CdT(II) between a paraelectric CdT(I) and an anhydrous phase, labeled CdT(III). © 1998 American Institute of Physics.
