The geometry of the H5O2+lon in (H5O2+)3(PW12O403–) studied by lnelastic neutron scattering vibrational spectroscopy

Abstract
The inelastic neutron scattering spectrum of dodecatungstophosphoric acid hexahydrate shows the presence of at least one type of H5O2 + ion, and most of the normal co-ordinates of a near-planar H5O2 + ion can be fitted to the observed spectrum, except that in the spectral region of the terminal HOH deformations, there is disagreement between the observed and calculated profiles; this is taken as evidence of disorder of the oxygen atoms about the planar positions.
