Using Raman spectroscopy, it was found that [IM]Mn(H2POO)3 is a highly compressible material undergoing three pressure-induced phase transitions. These transitions occur at around 2.9 GPa, 4.9 GPa, and 5.9 GPa, respectively, resulting in significant changes in the Raman spectra and alterations in the framework structure.
By using Raman spectroscopy, we demonstrate that [IM]Mn(H2POO)3 is a highly compressible material that undergoes three pressure-induced phase transitions. Using a diamond anvil cell we performed high-pressure experiments up to 7.1 GPa, using paraffin oil as the compression medium. The first phase transition, which occurs near 2.9 GPa, leads to very pronounced changes in the Raman spectra. This behavior indicates that this transition is associated with very large reconstruction of the inorganic framework and collapse of the perovskite cages. The second phase transition, which occurs near 4.9 GPa, is associated with subtle structural changes. The last transition takes place near 5.9 GPa and it leads to further significant distortion of the anionic framework. In contrast to the anionic framework, the phase transitions have weak impact on the imidazolium cation. Pressure dependence of Raman modes proves that compressibility of the high-pressure phases is significantly lower compared to the ambient pressure phase. It also indicates that the contraction of the MnO6 octahedra prevails over that of the imidazolium cations and hypophosphite linkers. However, compressibility of MnO6 strongly decreases in the highest pressure phase. Pressure-induced phase transitions are reversible.
