Abstract
Tellurites may be subdivided according to formula and structure. There are five groups based upon the formulae (a) A(XO3), (b) A(XO3).xH2O, (c) A2(XO3)3.xH2O, (d) A2(X2O5) and (e) A(X3O8). Raman spectroscopy has been used to study
mackayite and quetzalcoatlite are examples of tellurites containing OH units
Raman bands for mackayite observed at 732, 782 and 579, 635cm-1 are assigned to the ν1 (Te2O5)2- symmetric stretching and ν3 (Te2O5)2- antisymmetric stretching modes. The Raman spectral profile of quetzalcoatlite is more complex with a considerable number of overlapping bands. Two bands may be resolved at 719 and 754 cm-1 which may be attributed to ν1 (Te2O5)2- symmetric stretching mode. The two Raman bands of quetzalcoatlite at 602 and 606 cm-1 are accounted for by the ν3 (Te2O5)2- antisymmetric stretching mode. Raman bands for mackayite, observed at (306, 349, 379) and (424, 436 cm-1 are assigned to the (Te2O5)2- ν2 (A1) bending mode and ν4 (E) bending modes. This research shows that Raman spectroscopy may be applied to tellurite minerals successfully.

Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
