The structure of the tetragonal crystal was determined. The space group is with cell NaBi(MoO 4 ) 2 I4 6 = S 4 2 dimensions a = 5.267, c = 11.565 and Z = 2. The molybdenum atoms occupy two di †erent sites of symmetry.A 4 6 The Na' and Bi3' cations are situated on two positions with di †erent occupancy factors and are short-range ordered. The IR and Raman polarized spectra are discussed on the basis of the factor group analysis and phonon calculations. The modiÐed Urey-Bradley force Ðeld and potential energy distribution were applied for three molecular models of local disorder. Polarization properties are explained and related to the crystal structure.1997
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
