Ammonia borane structural study by temperature through high-resolution Raman spectroscopy and principal component analysis

The structural change by temperature of the ammonia borane has been studied through Raman spectroscopy and principal components analysis (PCA). Its phase transition, from tetragonal to orthorhombic, was observed at 212 K. In addition, between 99 and 83 K, a zone of structural stability was observed. These behaviors could be observed thanks to the application of the PCA technique to the Raman data. Here, we can find a characteristic Raman signal...
