Abstract

The work reports a Raman scattering study of FeSiF6·6H2O and MnSiF6·6H2O crystals within the 2–340 K temperature range. The crystals are ordered at low temperatures. Phase transition-induced changes in the spectra have been observed. An analysis of the number and polarization of the Raman lines has permitted determination of the symmetry of the high-and low-symmetry phases. A possible mechanism of the phase transition is proposed.
