title: Raman, FTIR, photoacoustic-FTIR and inelastic neutron scattering spectra of alkaline earth and lanthanide salts of hexahydridoruthenate(II), A2RuH6, (A = Ca, Sr, Eu) and their deuterides.
abstract: The vibrational spectra (Raman, photoacoustic and Fourier transform infrared and inelastic neutron scattering) of the calcium, strontium and europium salts of hexahydrido- and hexadeuteridoruthenate(II) have been analyzed. All observed fundamental modes and overtone and combination bands are assigned. Density functional theory calculations of the vibrational frequencies assist in the analysis.
