Abstract

The infrared bands of the NH+4 and ND+4 groups in (NH4)2V6O16 and its deuterated analogue can be assigned with a fair amount of certainty at 90 K under the space group P21/m(C22h). The ND stretching modes of isotopically dilute NH3D+ ions in the crystal are in agreement with the predicted splitting into Cs, Cs and C1(2) components. The frequencies, shapes and temperature dependence of these modes suggest that both normal and bifurcated hydrogen bonds are formed. The latter closely resembles corresponding bonds in NH4VO3, but the normal hydrogen bonds are not as strong as the similar bonds in NH4VO3. This can be expected as NH+4 ions are dynamic in character in (NH4)2V6O16 and remain so down to temperatures of 90 K.

    The peaks are observed between 3660 and 2680 cm−1 wavelength range is attributed to O–H and N–H stretching bonds [23]. The sharp peak at 3223 cm−1 and the small peak between 1611 and 1509 cm−1 correspond to O–H bonds of water and formed NH4+ ions, respectively [23,50]. The wavelength between 2350 and 2016 cm−1 is attributed to B–H stretching band [23,51,52].

    The FTIR spectrum of PB (Fig. 4(c)) includes the prominent peaks of PB microframes at ∼2068 and 500–600 cm−1, which were attributed to the FeCNFe and CN stretching vibrations, respectively. Owing to the high temperature and long duration of the hydrothermal reaction, K3[Fe(CN)6] decomposed and yielded ammonium (NH4+) ions, and CN bonds formed [41–46]. The absorption bands at 3448 cm−1 in the FTIR spectrum of PB corresponded to the NH bonds which originated from the NH4+ in the PB crystals (Fig. S4#).
