Аннотация: For the first time structural transformations were observed for one of the compounds belonging to the family of double salt fluorides A(3)MeF(7) = A(2)MeF(6)center dot AF. Single crystals of (NR4)(3)TiF7 = (NH4)(2)TiF6 center dot NH4F were grown by evaporation of the aqueous solution. Polarizing optical observations, heat capacity Показать полностьюand birefringence Delta n = (n(o) - n(e)) measurements were performed in a wide temperature range 100-400 K. Two reversible, first order structural phase transitions were found to be followed by an unusual sequence of symmetry changes: cubic (G(3)) (T-2 down arrow = 287.5 K; T-2 up arrow = 291-310 K) P4/mnc (G(2)) (T-1 down arrow = 358.5 K; T-1 up arrow = 360 K) 4/m (G(1)). The twin structures observed were described assuming the existence of cubic parent phase G(0) with Pm (3) over barm symmetry. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
