Abstract: The internal vibrations of the ammonium ion in (ND4)2TeCl6 have been studied by Raman scattering in the temperature range 4.2-300K. Splittings of A1-, E-, and T2-modes have been observed at Tc2 = 48 K and Tc3 = 28 K. These splittings were well interpreted by group theoretical correlation method. The reason for the transitions at Tc2 and Tc3 may be the decrease of the force constant in the deuterated ammoniumion.
