Notes:
The temperature dependence of the Raman spectrum of potassium perrhenate is reported. Some new detailed results on the temperature dependence of the low frequency Raman bands of ammonium perrhenate are also presented. The frequency versus temperature plots for both internal and external modes of the ReO4- ion in KReO4 appear to be linear over the temperature range from 20 to 300 K. This is in contrast to the non-linear behaviour of the external modes of the ReO4- ion in NH4ReO4. A crossing of the frequencies of the Ag and Eg librational modes of the ReO4- ion in NH4ReO4 occurs near 200 K, the temperature at which anomolies have been observed in the temperature dependence of several physical properties of this salt. The apparent discontinuities near 200 K in the slopes of the wavenumber versus temperature curves reported earlier1 are now shown to be shoulders on smooth curves. Extrapolation of the frequency versus temperature plots of the Eg and Bg translational modes of the ReO4- ion in KReO4 indicates that a crossing of the curves would occur at about 500 K, while for NH4ReO4 the crossing of the frequencies of these modes is observed near 200 K. The significance of these observations with respect to the structure and a possible higher order phase transition in the NH4ReO4 crystal is discussed.
