Vibrational spectra of the layered monofluorophosphate (V), NH4Ag3(PO3F)2

Abstract

The powder Fourier-transform (FT) infrared (IR) and Raman spectra of the recently characterized NH4Ag3(PO3F)2 were recorded and are discussed with a site-symmetry analysis based on its known structural data. Some comparisons are made with the solution spectra of the PO3F2− anion and with those of crystalline Ag2PO3F.
