Raman spectroscopic study of the hydrotalcite desautelsite Mg6Mn2CO3(OH)16.4H2O

摘要

The structure of the hydrotalcite desautelsite Mg6Mn2CO3(OH)16.4H2O has been studied by a combination of Raman and infrared spectroscopy. Three intense Raman bands are observed at 1086, 1062 and 1055 cm-1. A model based upon the observation of three CO3 stretching vibrations is presented. The CO3 anion may be (a) non-hydrogen bonded (b) hydrogen bonded to the interlayer water and (c) hydrogen bonded to the brucite-like hydroxyl surface. Two intense bands at 3646 and 3608 udcm-1 are attributed to MgOH and MnOH stretching vibrations. Infrared bands at 3476, 3333, 3165 and 2991 cm-1 are assigned to water stretching bands. Raman spectroscopy has proven a powerful tool for the study of hydrotalcite minerals
