Corporate proton dynamics in δ-KIO3+HIO3 crystal as deduced from ν(OH) and δ(OH) band profiles

Abstract

IR spectra of polycrystalline δ-KIO3 HIO3 have been studied in the temperature range from 13 to 300 K. A systematic temperature dependent study has been performed for the hydrogen bond stretching and bending vibrations. Features observed in the high frequency region of vibrational spectra of the title crystal are discussed with respect to possible formation of new charge compensating protonic species in the proton sublattice.
