    Abstract

    Raman spectra of polycrystalline squaric acid (H2C 4O4) were measured in the frequency shift region of 150 - 4000 cm-1 below and above the antiferroelectric phase transition (Tc = 373 K). No marked changes of internal vibrations of the H 2C4O4 molecule in the crystal were observed up to 473 K, indicating that the symmetry of the H2C4O 4 in the antiferroelectric phase persisted to the paraelectric phase.
