Abstract
Raman spectra of bis (L-histidinate)nickel(11) monohydrate crystal were
obtained for pressures up to 9.5 GPa. Our results show the disappearance
of some of the Raman modes and the appearance of other modes. These
modifications evidence that the sample undergoes phase transitions at
around 0.8 and 3.2 GPa. The role played by the Ni ions and hydrogen
bonds in the dynamics of the phase transitions is discussed. Under
decompression, down to atmospheric pressure, the original Raman spectra
are recovered, showing that both phase transitions are fully reversible.
