Abstract

Cesium perrhenate undergoes a reversible phase transition from the orthorhombic room-temperature phase (beta-CsReO4, space group Pnma) to a tetragonal high-temperature phase (alpha-CsReO4). The space group of alpha-CsReO4 was unambiguously confirmed by high-temperature X-ray diffraction to be I4(1)/amd in contrast to the earlier literature, in which space group I4(1)/a (and hence, a scheelite type structure) was assumed for alpha-CsReO4. From a data set obtained at 468 K the crystal structure of alpha-CsReO4 (a = 5.9607(4), c = 14.446(1) angstrom, Z = 4) was refined to R = 0.032, R(w) = 0.029 using anisotropic displacement factors. In the vibrational spectra not all of the predicted components for beta-CsReO4 could be confirmed by the experiments, but for alpha-CsReO4 very good agreement was obtained between the predicted and observed bands. The fact that nu2 at approximately 300 cm-1 is not observed in the IR spectra of alpha-CsReO4 confirms the space group I4(1)/amd, since, under I4(1)/a symmetry, this band is allowed. The structure of alpha-CsReO4 consists of isolated ReO4 tetrahedra which are linked together by cesium atoms. The relationships between the scheelite, alpha-CsReO4 and beta-CsReO4 structural types are discussed.
