Single crystals of (TRIS)2SiF6were grown and characterised by X-ray analysis, differential scan- ning calorimetry (DSC) and optical investigations. They were bond to be trigonal, space group P¯3, with the unit cell dimensions a=7.699(1), c=7.818(2) ˚A. The SiF26anions, located in large cav- ities formed by hydrogen bonded cations, are strongly disordered at room temperature. The DSC measurements revealed a first-order phase transition at TC177 K with a hysteresis of 4 K. The na- ture of the transition was confirmed by a sharp increase of the linear birefringence below TC. Optical observations under a polarizing microscope showed a domain structure of the low temperature phase, characteristic of ferroelastic materials.

Key words: Phase Transition; X-ray Crystal Structure; Birefringence Domain Structure.
