## Abstract We have measured polarized Raman spectra of MnWO~4~ single crystals at low temperatures, and studied the temperature dependence of the various phonon modes. From our Raman studies of the MnWO~4~, a new transition temperature, ∼180 K, was found. We have completely assigned the symmetries

Abstract
The mode assignment of the cubic phase of anhydrous Na~2~MoO~4~ was carried out on the basis of lattice dynamic calculation using the classical rigid‐ion model. Temperature‐dependent studies indicate that this crystal remains in the cubic structure in the 15–773 K range and undergoes a phase transition at around 783 K. The behavior of the Raman modes indicates that this transition is strongly first‐order in nature and the phase above 773 K may have an orthorhombic symmetry. This transition is connected with tilting and/or rotations of the MoO~4~ tetrahedra, which lead to a disorder at the MoO~4~ sites. Our results give also evidence that the MoO bond lengths decrease in the high‐temperature phase. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

## Abstract Temperature–dependent Raman studies of disodium dimolybdate (Na~2~Mo~2~O~7~) crystal are reported. Lattice dynamical calculation was used to predict both wavenumbers and atomic displacements (eigenvectors) for the vibrational modes. These calculations were based on the classical rigid‐i
