    Vibrational spectroscopic study of the phosphate mineral kryzhanovskite and in comparison with reddingite-implications for the molecular structure.
    (2016) Frost, Ray Leslie; Cipriano, Ricardo Augusto Scholz; Wang, Lina
    We have studied the phosphate mineral kryzhanovskite (Fe3þ,Mn2þ)3(PO4)2(OH,H2O) which is a member of the phosphoferrite mineral group using a combination of scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy and Raman and infrared spectroscopy. Chemical analysis shows the presence of P, Mn and Fe and confirms the formula given above. The presence of hydroxyl units in the structure is indicative of ferric iron in the formula that is an oxidised product. Raman spectroscopy coupled with infrared spectroscopy supports the concept of phosphate, hydrogen phosphate and dihydrogen phosphate units in the structure of kryzhanovskite -phosphoferrite. Infrared and Raman bands attributed to water and hydroxyl stretching modes are identified. Vibrational spectroscopy adds useful information to the molecular structure of kryzhanovskite -phosphoferrite.

    A Raman and infrared spectroscopic study of the sulphate mineral aluminite Al2(SO4)(OH)4 7H2O.
    (2015) Frost, Ray Leslie; López, Andrés; Cipriano, Ricardo Augusto Scholz; Wang, Lina
    The mineral aluminite has been studied using a number of techniques, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX) and Raman and infrared spectroscopy. Raman spectroscopy identifies multiple sulphate symmetric stretching modes in line with the three sulphate crystallographically different sites. Raman spectroscopy also identifies a low intensity band at 1069 cm 1 which may be attributed to a carbonate symmetric stretching mode, indicating the presence of thaumasite. The observation of multiple bands in this m4 spectral region offers evidence for the reduction in symmetry of the sulphate anion from Td to C2v or even lower symmetry. The Raman band at 3588 cm 1 is assigned to the OH unit stretching vibration and the broad feature at around 3439 cm 1 to water stretching bands. Water stretching vibrations are observed at 3157, 3294, 3378 and 3439 cm 1. Vibrational spectroscopy enables an assessment of the molecular structure of aluminite to be made.

    Raman and infrared spectroscopic study of turquoise minerals.
    (2015) Čejka, Jiři; Sejkora, Jiři; Macek, Ivo; Malíková, Radana; Wang, Lina; Cipriano, Ricardo Augusto Scholz; Xi, Yunfei; Frost, Ray Leslie
    Raman and infrared spectra of three well-defined turquoise samples, CuAl6(PO4)4(OH)8_4H2O, from Lavender Pit, Bisbee, Cochise county, Arizona; Kouroudaiko mine, Faleme river, Senegal and Lynch Station, Virginia were studied, interpreted and compared. Observed Raman and infrared bands were assigned to the stretching and bending vibrations of phosphate tetrahedra, water molecules and hydroxyl ions. Approximate O–H…O hydrogen bond lengths were inferred from the Raman and infrared spectra. No Raman and infrared bands attributable to the stretching and bending vibrations of (PO3OH)2_ units were observed.
