Abstract: | Change of a local environment of a polar pyridinium ion, which is associated with the phase transition of crystalline pyridinium tetrachloroiodate(III) at Tc = 217 K, was investigated by a single crystal X-ray analysis and dielectric and heat capacity measurements. The site symmetry 2/m of the ion at T > Tc indicates an orientational disorder in the high-temperature phase (HTP). The energy difference ΔE between the stable and meta-stable orientations of the pyridinium ion at the 2/m site was estimated to be ΔE/R ? 560 K at 280 K in the HTP. Below the Tc, an antiferroelectric ordering of the ions was revealed. |
