Abstract
Two structural propositions of vaterite are examined using infrared spectroscopy. The carbonate ion has Cs-site symmetry in the structure presented by Meyer (1959), but C2v according to Kamhi (1963). Observed infrared spectra are characterized by (1) the activation and splitting of v1 and (2) the splitting of v3, which support C2v symmetry.Keywords
