title: Guanidinium perchlorate ferroelectric crystal. Study of vibrational properties based on experimental measurements and theoretical calculations.
abstract: The infrared and Raman spectra of guanidinium perchlorate were measured at room temperature. The spectra are discussed with the framework of literature X-ray structure in relation to internal hydrogen bond network. For complete vibrational analysis the theoretical calculation of both infrared and Raman spectra in DFT approach were performed. The clear-cut assignment of observed bands was made on the basis of PED analysis. On the basis of theoretical studies the electrostatic charges and energies of HOMO and LUMO orbitals were obtained. Additionally the first order hyperpolarizability of investigated molecule was calculated. The obtained results are in good agreement with literature data, but according to performed calculation the specific damping of β hyperpolarizability in unit cell (comparable with isolated molecule) is observed. To explain in detail phase transitions phenomena (at ca. 452 and 454K) described in literature the temperature dependent infrared powder spectra were recorded. The temperature dependencies of bands position and intensities for titled crystal in the range 11-480K are analyzed.
