RESUMO
The X-rays powder diffraction pattern of [C2H5NH3]2SiF6 was obtained and indexed on the basis of a hexagonal unit cell. The vibrational spectra (IR and Raman) of this compound were recorded and discussed in relation to the above-mentioned crystal structure. The vibrational spectra of the cations indicate that they are disordered and hydrogen bonded to the anions. On the opposite, the Raman spectrum of the anions could be interpreted in terms of ordered groups. The combination bands observed in the 2300-1800 cm(-1) spectral region in the IR spectrum indicate that this compound may contain C-NH3 groups.

The X-ray powder diffraction pattern of [(CH(3))(3)NH](2)SiF(6) was obtained and indexed on the basis of a centred cubic unit cell with the P4(1)32 as the likely space group. The Infrared and Raman spectra of this compound have been recorded at room temperature and discussed in relation to the crystal structure. In this salt, the bands corresponding to the cation vibrational modes show that the symmetry of these cations is distorted from the free C(3v) one and that they are strongly hydrogen-bonded to the respective anions. However, the spectra of the anions can be interpreted in term of ordered groups as indicated by the splitting of the bands corresponding to some degenerate vibrational modes. The harmonic frequencies, corresponding to the (CH(3))(3)NH-SiF(6)-NH(CH(3))(3) optimised geometry, were calculated using the SCF semi-empirical MNDO-PM3 method.

(CH3)4NSbCl6 and [(CH3)4N]2SiF6 are face-centred cubic compounds at ambient temperature with a = 11.548 and 11.172 A, respectively. The vibrational spectra of these two compounds are discussed in relation to their crystal structure and other compounds containing (CH3)4N+ ions. The assignment of the observed bands is discussed. The Raman and infrared spectra of [(CH3)4N]2SiF6 show that the cations and anions are not distorted inside the crystals and are weakly hydrogen-bonded to each other. The infrared spectrum of (CH3)4NSbCl6 confirms a cubic structure for this compound at ambient temperature, in which cations are in octahedral environments and can be interpreted as being disordered groups. No evidence could be found for the existence of hydrogen bonding between cations and anions in this compound. The phase transition of (CH3)4NSbCI6 is studied by means of Raman spectroscopy. It is believed to be governed by the reorientational motions of tetramethylammonium cations and may be classified as an 'order-disorder' type.
