“…In a variety of iodate crystals [11][12][13], the four fundamental frequencies of the pyramidal iodate ion, both infrared and Raman active, have been observed including ν 1 (symmetric stretching) at 630-780 cm −1 , ν 2 (symmetric bending) at 350-400 cm −1 , ν 3 (asymmetrical stretching) at 730-820 cm −1 , and ν 4 (asymmetric bending) at about 330 cm −1 . Our IR measurements of The IR spectra confirmed the existence of MoO 6 6− and IO 3 − groups, consistent with the results obtained from the singlecrystal X-ray structural analysis to be discussed below.…”
