The infrared spectra of copper formate tetrahydrate are measured in the frequency region from 4000 to 24 cm−1 at various temperatures. This compound is known to undergo an antiferroelectric phase transition at −37.7°C. The bands due to the librational and translational modes of the crystalline water molecules in the antiferroelectric phase are quite different from those in the paraelectric phase, while no appreciable differences between the spectra in the two phases are observed for other bands. Those facts agree with the results obtained by the crystallographic study, which show that the ordering of the orientation of the water molecules occurs at the phase transition. The similarity of the librational and the translational modes of the water molecules to those of ice is also discussed.
