Abstract

The infrared and Raman spectra of the title compounds in the ca. 400-150 cm-1 region are reported. For the first time, detailed assignments are given for all of the features in this region for the first series of compounds. An attempt is made to extend to all of the modes the plastic cluster model of vibrational analysis, which is normally species applied only to ν(M - M) vibrations. While mixing occurs between ν(Fe - Fe) and ν(Fe - E), containing Te posed particular problems; the reasons for this are discussed and give new insights into the plastic cluster model itself.
