Abstract
Raman and IR spectra of the crystalline compounds α-K<sub>3</sub>AsO<sub>4</sub> K<sub>4</sub>As<sub>2</sub>O<sub>7</sub>, K<sub>5</sub>As<sub>3</sub>O<sub>10</sub>, and γ-KAsO<sub>3</sub> are given together with tentative assignments in terms of symmetrical and antisymmetrical As—O<sup>−</sup> and As—O—As bond-stretching and bond-bending vibrations. Comparison of the Raman spectra of crystalline arsenates with those of vitreous arsenates, stabilized with Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, in the composition region KAsO<sub>3</sub>-K<sub>4</sub>As<sub>2</sub>O<sub>7</sub> is used to deduce the molecular structure of these glasses. It appears that in the glasses chains of AsO<sub>4</sub> tetrahedra are present.
