TI  - Peisleyite an unusual mixed anion mineral--a vibrational spectroscopic study.
PG  - 177-84
AB  - The mineral peisleyite has been studied using a combination of electron 
      microscopy and vibrational spectroscopy. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) 
      photomicrographs reveal that the peisleyite morphology consists of an array of 
      small needle-like crystals of around 1 microm in length with a thickness of less 
      than 0.1 microm. Raman spectroscopy in the hydroxyl stretching region shows an 
      intense band at 3506 cm(-1) assigned to the symmetric stretching mode of the OH 
      units. Four bands are observed at 3564, 3404, 3250 and 3135 cm(-1) in the 
      infrared spectrum. These wavenumbers enable an estimation of the hydrogen bond 
      distances 3.052(5), 2.801(0), 2.705(6) and 2.683(6)A. Two intense Raman bands are 
      observed at 1023 and 989 cm(-1) and are assigned to the SO(4) and PO(4) symmetric 
      stretching modes. Other bands are observed at 1356, 1252, 1235, 1152, 1128, 1098 
      and 1067 cm(-1). The bands at 1067 cm(-1) is attributed to AlOH deformation 
      vibrations. Bands in the low wavenumber region are assigned to the nu(4) and 
      nu(2) out of plane bending modes of the SO(4) and PO(4) units. Raman spectroscopy 
      is a useful tool in determining the vibrational spectroscopy of mixed hydrated 
      multianion minerals such as peisleyite. Information on such a mineral would be 
      difficult to obtain by other means.
