Properties and Perspectives of Rb<sub>2</sub>Co(SO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>6</sub> Tutton Crystal: A Combined Experimental-Theoretical Analysis.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: This paper presents a comprehensive investigation of a Tutton crystal, rubidium cobalt sulfate hexahydrate Rb2Co-(SO4)2(H2O)6, detailing its synthesis and characterizing its structural (PXRD), vibrational (FT-IR and Raman), thermal (TG and DSC), and optical (UV-vis-NIR) properties. Complementary, calculations using density functional theory (DFT) were implemented to estimate electronic band structure and assign optical phonon modes identified through FT-IR and Raman spectra. The material was prepared by the slow solvent evaporation method and crystallized, having P21/a-space group in the monoclinic system (unit cell parameters a = 9.204(9) Å, b = 12.467(2) Å, c = 6.246(3) Å, β = 106.02(5)°,
